Opal and Opalite: Similar Looks, Different Stories
走進蛋白石和人造蛋白石的炫目雙重奏
Although the opalite commonly sold may look like opal, it is not a natural gemstone. Instead, it is a man-made material typically produced from glass or resin. Even though it does not form in nature, opalite remains popular for its smooth texture and glowing look.
In terms of color, opalite is often colorless or milky white. Under natural light, it may appear pale blue, but under indoor lighting, it may take on peach, orange, or other warm tones.
雖然市面上常見販售的人造蛋白石看起來很像蛋白石,但它並不是天然寶石。相反地,它是一種通常由玻璃或樹脂製成的人造材料。儘管它並非在自然界中形成,人造蛋白石仍因其光滑的質地和散發光芒的外觀而廣受歡迎。
就顏色而言,人造蛋白石通常是無色或乳白色的。在自然光下,它可能呈現淡藍色,但在室內光源下,它可能會具有蜜桃色、橘色或其他暖色調。
