Hyalite opals share mostly the same composition as other opals, specifically in their bodies’ mixture of water and silicon dioxide. However, hyalite opals differ in a few ways. For one, they don’t have the same internal mineral structure as the average opal; the mini spheres that cause the play of color in precious opals are absent in hyalite.

However, hyalite opal fluorescence is something of a dream. Do opals fluoresce? Hyalite opals do, displaying a dramatic change in color if placed under short-wave UV light. That’s where you’ll see the glows of rarer green and blue hyalite opals.
