Can opalite be found naturally? Yes, but it’s a different stone than a precious opal… Natural opalite isn’t man-made, but rather a naturally-occurring green or purple opal that’s heavily included and often shows chatoyancy (also known as a “cat’s eye effect.”).” - Opal Auction

“the gemstone Opal is natural — It’s formed from a solution of silicon dioxide and water.

Opalite is a man-made variety of glass — in essence, it has no connection to nature whatsoever. It’s just pretty glass which happens to be called Opalite. In fact, Opalite is a trade name for man-made Opal-like stones. What’s more, Opalite does not have fire or play of color and it tends to come in a variety of colors and inclusions. It’s also important to note that the name Opalite can also be used to refer to Tiffany Stone or Bertrandite. Most people also consider Opalite to be the general term for low-grade Opal with inclusions.” - Opal Auction
