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 larger hand-carved angel figure in opalite, made in India. This version is the bigger of the two opalite angels in the range, at 5 x 1cm and 26g. Opalite is a synthetic glass with a pale, milky blue-white appearance and a soft iridescent sheen, not a natural mineral. Small enough for a bedside table or windowsill, it works as a quiet keepsake rather than a centrepiece.
