It’s recommended to clean it with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking opal in water; some opals can lose their colors or iridescence. Do not expose opal to strong light or extreme heat: it is sensitive to heat and can crack or discolor. Also avoid exposure to soap/shower gel, cosmetics (perfume, etc.) or household products, which will irreversibly damage the stone. When you’re not wearing your opal, it’s recommended to store it in an individual pouch to protect it from scratches. Photos are non-contractual.
