Wondering how a simple opalite gemstone may be able to help your mental and physical health? Opalites are thought to have quite a few healing properties, as well as spiritual benefits; they’re often sought for their holistic powers. In this article, we’ll explain what opalite is (and how it’s different from opal), its spiritual meaning, and its many properties. Read on to find out how you can use opalite to improve your everyday life!
Things You Should Know
- Opalite gemstones are known for their healing properties, including the ability to alleviate depression and fatigue and calm an anxious mind.
- Spiritually, opalite is related to the crown and third eye chakras. It also aids communication at every level and brings positive energy to homes.
- Carry opalite with you to unlock its properties, place it somewhere in your home that needs more positive energy, or meditate with it to clear your mind.
Steps
Cleansing & Charging Opalite
- Use the smudging method to cleanse your opalite of negative energy. All you need to smudge your opalite is an incense stick! Light the incense stick, then hold the opalite in your hand and pass it through the smoke from the stick. This should cleanse your crystal of negative energy so that it’s ready to be recharged and used once more.[18]
- Try cleansing your opalite on a regular basis to ensure remains effective. Generally, cleansing them once a month is enough to keep them working properly.
- Cleansing gemstones is thought to be important, because using them for their healing and spiritual properties can cause them to absorb so much negative energy that they become less effective.
- Cleanse the opalite in an amethyst or quartz container, alternatively. Another way to cleanse opalite is to simply use an amethyst or clear quartz container; put the gemstone in the container (like a carved box) overnight to completely cleanse it. Clear quartz and amethyst are also gemstones, both thought to have the ability to absorb and neutralize negative energy.[19]
- Place your opalite in the sunlight or moonlight to charge it again. Bring your newly-cleansed opalite gemstone outside at dawn and leave it there until dusk to charge it with positive energy. Alternatively, leave the opalite outside at dusk and grab it again at dawn if you wish to use moonlight to charge it. Leaving opalite outside for a full 24 hours will also work, allowing both the sun and moon charge it together.[20]
- Don’t leave your opalite outside if there’s bad weather, like clouds, rain, or snow. Pick a clear day (or night) where the light can fully touch and charge the gemstone.
