Opalite is a man-made synthetic glass, mistakenly known by a number
of different names, including - Tiffany Stone, Opalized Fluorite and Purple Opal.
The word Merkaba comes from a Hebrew word which means "chariot", & when broken down
phonetically means "light, body, spirit" from an ancient Egyptian translation. If you consider both meanings,
it essentially refers to a way of connecting with light, body, and spirit through the means of this 'vehicle' or symbol.
As opposed to some other symbols we have explored, such as the Sri Yantra symbol,
this one is more rooted in Jewish and Christian tradition. If we consider some similar
concepts and symbols from Christianity, the three elements of the
word can be likened to the three aspects of the holy trinity.
If you'd like to visualize this symbol in concrete mathematical terms, the Merkaba is a three-dimensional
symbol which is made up of two triangles that face opposite directions and connect or overlap at the center.
The bottom triangle represents femininity and rotates in a counter-clockwise direction,
and the top relates to masculinity and rotates in a clockwise direction, all simultaneously.
The design looks like a six-pointed star when looked at from a two-dimensional perspective.
WHAT IS THE MERKABA?
So what is the merkaba and what does it entail? To explain this, it's helpful to note that this symbol
or concept has roots that are evident in ancient scripts like the Bible and seems to have been
inspired by visions and experiences that biblical figures like Ezekiel had of connecting with
celestial beings (which is talked about in the Book of Ezekiel, and other sacred Jewish texts).
From a Chassidic Jewish perspective, the Merkaba is more about having a multi-layered
approach to the nature of man, the world and the ecosystem,
and sees this symbol as a means to contemplating a way to become better as people. Interestingly,
the Merkaba symbol also closely resembles another symbol in Jewish religious tradition, the Star of David.
Opalite is a beautiful, sky blue stone that symbolizes clear thinking, new beginnings, and childlike glee.
Unlike many other crystals, Opalite is a man-made stone created from glass.
As such, it has a far different meaning for spiritual purposes compared to other, natural stones coming from the Earth.
As with all human-made stones, one must use Opalite for the more straightforward challenges in life,
which is where its purpose shines greatest.
The spiritual meanings of Opalite are quick mood boosts, the ability
to turn a frown into a smile, and the light of a clear blue sky.
The unique shine of Opalite is what gives it its many nicknames such as Tiffany’s Stone.
This is in reference to the famous jewellery store which wraps all products in baby blue wrapping.
It’s also called the Ice Cream stone as it has a unique coolness to its appearance.
Both of these nicknames further display its spiritual meaning
of simple delights and the joys of beholding a thing of beauty.
It is not a worthless power that Opalite has, mind you.
For many people who have trouble getting their minds off of very serious and deep topics,
Opalite reminds them to stay fun, cheery, and light-hearted.
Opalite’s two primary colours, blue and white, come together to form its unique shine.
Together they stand for openness, calmness, and purity.
Like the beautiful skies of summer and the flat plains of snow in the winter,
these two colours serve to bring peace to humanity by reminding them of the simplicity and beauty
that Nature has.
