Hyalite Opal (UV Reactive) – Spruce Pine, North Carolina
Tiny Collector Specimens • 0.1–2 grams • Natural • Fluorescent
At first glance, they’re quiet—clear, glassy droplets tucked into stone.
Then the UV light turns on… and they glow electric green.
These hyalite opal specimens come from the mountains of Spruce Pine, North Carolina, where silica-rich fluids formed delicate, botryoidal (bubble-like) opal over host rock. What makes them unforgettable is their fluorescence—caused by trace uranium—lighting up vivid neon green under 365 nm UV.
These are very small, collector-grade pieces, perfect for close-up appreciation, UV displays, and adding a spark of wonder to any collection.
Available Sizes:
• 0.1–0.5 g – Tiny spark specimens, subtle but glowing
• 0.5–1 g – More defined clusters with brighter presence
• 1–2 g – Small but impactful display pieces with stronger glow
Each piece is completely unique in formation, clarity, and glow intensity.
Why you’ll love it:
• Bright green UV fluorescence (best under 365 nm)
• Rare U.S. locality – Spruce Pine, NC

A crystal that doesn’t reveal itself all at once.
You have to shine the right light—and then it answers.
