Opalite is a trade name for man-made opalised glass and various opal simulants. Other names for this glass product include "Argenon", "Sea Opal", "Opal Moonstone" and other similar names.
When opalite glass is placed against a dark background, it appears to have a blue color. When placed against a light background, it is milky white with an orange or pink glow. Because it is glass, it may sometimes contain air bubbles, an after effect of the forming process.
The streak of opalite is typically white.
Opalite is a man-made variety of glass. It's NOT a gemstone, not opal or moonstone or quartz, but is just a very pretty glass and its trade name is Opalite.
