Opal Care and Conservation Guide

Opals are hydrophilic, delicate gems (Mohs scale: 5.5 - 6.5). Their structure requires specific conditions to preserve its integrity and the characteristic "play of color" of Australian, Ethiopian and Mexican fire varieties.

Maintenance Protocol:

• Technical Cleaning: Use only a lint-free microfiber cloth, slightly dampened with distilled water. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam or abrasive chemicals that could compromise the gem's hydration.
• Thermal Management: Avoid exposure to sudden temperature changes (thermal shock) and intense heat sources. Extreme heat can dehydrate the opal, causing surface cracks or loss of opalescence.
• Exposure to Liquids: Do not submerge the piece in water. Ethiopian opals, being porous (hydrophane), can absorb liquids and change color temporarily or permanently.
• External Agents: Avoid contact with cosmetics, perfumes or acids. Apply these products before putting on the jewelry to prevent residue from seeping into the mineral structure.
• Storage: Store the piece individually in a padded case, away from direct sunlight, to avoid abrasion from contact with harder gems.
