A gemstone that seems to glow from within, Hyalite Opal is one of nature’s most captivating optical wonders. Known for its glassy transparency and subtle flashes of spectral color, this rare variety of opal embodies purity, brilliance, and modern sophistication. Often colorless in daylight yet electrifying under ultraviolet light, Hyalite reveals a mesmerizing neon green fluorescence that feels almost otherworldly—making it a true conversation piece in fine jewelry.
Hyalite Opal is an opal without play-of-color in the traditional sense, yet its beauty lies in its glass-like brilliance and purity. Often referred to as “water opal” or “Müller’s glass opal,” it forms as a botryoidal or transparent mass in volcanic environments, similar to how natural glass forms. The finest gem-quality material is sourced from Mexico, Ethiopia, and Hungary, with rare fluorescent specimens originating from Tanzania and Namibia.
With a Mohs hardness of 5.5–6.5, Hyalite Opal is suitable for pendants, earrings, and statement pieces that highlight its ethereal glow. When expertly faceted, it displays striking brilliance reminiscent of fine crystal or diamond-like sparkle—making it a rare and modern alternative to traditional opal.
