It is recommended to clean it with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking opal in water; some opals may lose their color 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.
