Opalite is the trade name for man-made glass treated to exhibit the internal flashes of true Opals in translucent samples, and opalescence or lustrous sheen in opaque samples. Opalite can have a blue appearance when placed against a dark background and appear milky white with a pink or orange glow against a light background. Opalite is known by several other names, including Moonstone.
