Description

Provenance

This new and exciting genuine Bubble Opalite (aka Bubble Opal) is colorless banded Opal from Utah. It is a unique, beautiful, and intensely reflective cabochon!

Satin flash opal is a rare natural hyalite opal (non-fluorescent) variety, often referred to as “common opal.” It is a result of repeated fracturing and re-healing in geothermal/hydrothermal near surface opal deposits. This hyalite Opalite is only found in The Thomas Range, in the West Desert area of Utah that formed approximately 7 million years ago.

While it may be referred to as “common opal,” there is nothing “common” about this rare gorgeous wire wrapped satin flash cabochon!

Metaphysical

Opalite improves communication, removes energy blockages and encourages persistence.
