An illustration by artist Eglė Abariūnienė, capturing the story of the discovery of the Opoka rock and its journey to you.
Hello, I’m Opoka.
For millions, or perhaps even billions of years, I lay peacefully in the plains of Žemaitija, never dreaming of the spotlight—until one day, I caught the attention of a true talent scout.
I can confidently say I’ve been polished longer than any diamond—dug up, boiled, mixed, ground… And now, after all those beauty treatments, I can finally introduce myself to you!
You might think, “Where does all this beauty come from?” Not from a puddle—from a deposit!
I am Opoka rock — the queen of minerals, rare and found in only a few places (Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine), and now… on social media too!
