HYALITE

Overview:

Hyalite is a wonderful stone for scrying as its watery depths stimulate intuition, connect with the spiritual realms and access your life plan. In addition to carrying the generic properties of Opal, this stone is a mood stabilizer that enhances meditation experience.


It aids those who are making the transition out of the body, teaching that the physical overcoat is a temporary vehicle for the soul and facilitating a tranquil passing.

Hyalite is a form of opal with a glassy and clear appearance which exhibits an internal play of colors and has natural inclusions. It is also called Muller's glass, water opal and jalite. Its Mohs hardness is 5.5 to 6 and it has a specific gravity of 2.1. It is an amorphous form of silica (SiO2). Its has a conchoidal fracture, a vitreous luster and a white streak. It is sometimes mistaken for resin opal, since they both look like little globs. It glows bright green under blacklight.
