🌧️ Care Instructions

Opal is a very delicate gemstone—it reacts strongly to water and moisture. Due to its porous structure, it behaves like a sponge: if too much moisture penetrates, the stone may lose its characteristic “fire” brilliance and shimmering aura waves. Therefore, it should always be stored dry and protected from sudden changes in temperature or humidity.
