Opalite is a type of glass that is commonly used in jewelry and decorative items. It is known for its opalescent appearance, which gives it a beautiful, iridescent glow. Opalite is also sometimes referred to as “sea opal” or “opalized glass.” It is man-made and created through a process called “glass fusion.” It is produced by combining various minerals and metals, including dolomite, quartz, and fluorite, with glass. The resulting opalite glass has a translucent or semi-translucent quality, and it often exhibits a range of colors, such as milky white, pale blue, or subtle pink. It is this play of colors that gives opalite its unique and captivating appearance.
The Miraculous Medal and Pardon Crucifix complete this heirloom quality rosary. The pardon crucifix is a crucifix that incorporates promises of indulgences (remissions of temporal punishment for sins). It serves as a reminder of God’s mercy and the importance of seeking forgiveness for one’s sins. (A handout is included with this rosary that explains the Pardon Crucifix, history and indulgences)
