Hand Carved Gemstone Angel - Opalite

Product Overview

A small carved angel is one of the oldest keepsake forms — a guardian figure kept close on a desk or shelf rather than displayed as an ornament. A small hand-carved angel figure in opalite, made in India. Opalite is a synthetic glass with a pale, milky blue-white appearance and a soft iridescent sheen, not a natural mineral. At 3 x 5 x 1cm and 20g, it's a compact piece for a shelf, desk or small display. Small enough for a bedside table or windowsill, it works as a quiet keepsake rather than a centrepiece.

FAQ

Is opalite a natural stone?
No, opalite is a synthetic glass, not a natural mineral. It's chosen for its soft iridescent appearance.

Will every piece look the same?
Broadly yes, since it's synthetic, but small variations in the carving mean no two are quite identical.

Is it suitable as a gift?
Yes, at this size it works well as a small, decorative gift.

How should I care for it? Dust with a soft dry cloth and keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight, which can fade some stones over time.
