If you're fond of crystals, the third track on Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl album will feel especially enchanting.Fittingly titled "Opalite," the shimmery track glows bright, much like the crystal it's named after. It draws inspiration from the gemstone that isn't found in nature but is instead man-made, a fun fact Swift herself admits to finding deeply metaphorical.In the chorus, Swift reflects on resilience and renewal as she flexes her crystal knowledge by referencing both opalite and the dark gemstone onyx: "But my mama told me, 'It's alright / You were dancing through the lightning strikes / Sleepless in the onyx night / But now, the sky is opalite.'"
"I have favorite words, favorite phrases, things that I put in an endless file of lyrics that I'm constantly gonna go and cherry pick for when I'm writing," Swift said in an interview with Capital Official Radio.

"I had written down the word opalite because I learned that it's actually a man-made opal, like opal can be man-made, just like diamonds, and so, Travis [Kelce]'s birthstone is opal," she continues."I've always fixated on that; I've always loved that stone. I thought it was kind of a cool metaphor that it's a man-made opal, and happiness can be man-made, too. That's kinda what the song is about, the juxtaposition of those two."By tying a man-made stone to a man-made kinda joy, the song brings life and meaning to the crystal, reminding listeners that love and fulfillment are things we have the power to create.Read on for everything you about this iridescent stone and the best uses for it.
What is opalite?
Opalite is a man-made glass infused with an iridescent, opal-like glow. While it is not a natural stone, it is widely sought after for its luminous appearance, shifting between soft blues, purples and pinks when in the light.
Mimicking the beauty of natural opal stone, opalite carries a mystical, otherworldly beauty that appeals to both crystal enthusiasts, collectors and none other than Taylor Swift!
What are the best uses for opalite?
Opalite is often used to bring a sense of calm and clarity, making it a popular stone for meditation and stress relief. Many people keep it nearby to enhance communication and strengthen relationships, as it is believed to encourage openness and harmony.It is also associated with transitions, offering gentle support during periods of change while helping to boost self-confidence.
Much like Swift's song lyrics, an opalite's luminous quality serves as a reminder that happiness and beauty can be consciously cultivated, making it both a decorative and symbolic companion in daily life.
What is onyx?
Before stating that her relationship with Kelce has made her skies opalite, Swift notes that she was once sleepless "in the onyx night," referencing the dark gemstone. Onyx is a variety of chalcedony, a microcrystalline form of quartz that also includes stones like agate.
While agate is known for its curved and wavy bands, onyx's parallel, straight layers, most often in contrasting shades of black and white, are what make it so unique.
What are the best uses for onyx?
Onyx is believed to absorb and transmute negativity; hence, it is widely used as a protective stone.
Carrying it in a pocket or wearing it as jewelry can provide a sense of grounding and peace of mind throughout the day, while placing it near doors and entryways is said to safeguard the home. It is also valued for emotional balance, often used in meditation to release grief, fears or heavy attachments.
Spiritually, onyx is linked to the root chakra and is often incorporated into rituals or crystal grids for stability, grounding and protection.
