Because this is a natural gemstone, it may show natural internal characteristics, inclusions, irregularities or variations. These characteristics can be part of the individual appearance of a natural opal.

🧼 Opal Care

Opal should be handled with care. Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaning, extreme temperature changes and hard impacts. Keep the loose gemstone or finished jewelry separately from harder stones that could scratch its polished surface.
