I've Got Opalite Lust! - Page 2

Celtic...sounds like you're becoming smitten too! I am VERY drawn to Laboradorite and now to opalite...both connect me psychically in different ways...I actually just recieved a message from a spirit guide about the angel...giving me her name and her connection to me!
Bhavana, the ring is just gorgeous...looks like its from the 30s or 40s...very Art nouveau/Deco! The part of the ring that you described is called the under-gallery and is made for the pleasure of the owner, who will see it when the ring is removed!

oh wow! that is really nice to hear. I've got to find an opalite--perhaps I can get one for Mothers day - since that is not far around the corner!

Under-gallery! Thanks so much, Gia - I have always wondered about this - I have several older rings - most in the art deco style - that have this "under-gallery". I really love it. Now I have a name for it - !! Wonder if it is still done?

I found the original angel at a rock and mineral show locally...but I loved her so much, I didn't want to leave her on my altar...so I bought a slightly larger one on eBay...now...I cannot be without her (see...lust) and so I've purchased a 3rd...also from eBay and it's even larger...she's going on my altar...the 2nd one at my bedside, the 3rd in my purse!!!

Rarely...but yes! I have 3 rings from the same designer purchased here with VERY elaborate under galleries! They're VERY bold, huge rings tho...not as delicate as yours!!! VERY special...enjoy it!

the ring is pretty old, I think it has a sort of art deco 1920's sort of style. The stone looks gray in the picture, but flashes other colors as well depending on the light. Something this ring has, which I have noticed in other older rings, is that the setting underneath the stone, the part that lies against your finger, is full of ornate swirls and carvings in the gold...not sure why they would make a part you can't see look pretty, but it's a nice touch.

Bhavana, that is a gorgeous ring! Lucky you!

well, I c. my ex boss at the New Age shop in VT. Asked her to look out for a nice opalite piece for me, and gave her the price I was looking at. Once a month she meets up with her crystal suppliers, so she'll pick out a good piece for me. She did pick out a nice moldavite for me when I worked there. Now, all I have to do is wait.....patiently..........

I have a Ganesha pendent that is made of opalite. I think it is very pretty and I think I am calmer when I wear it. Seeing this thread the other day made me think about the fact that I never seem to see any opalite pieces at my local thrift store though. Well, wouldn't you know that I spotted two bracelets that I think have opalite in them today! And they were half off of the marked price too so I snapped them up.
