Care of opal jewelry
Compared to other stones, opal is a quite delicate gemstone. With a hardness of about 6 on the Mohs hardness scale, it should be protected as much as possible from physical stress because in contact with hard materials it can scratch quickly. Nevertheless: Opal wants to be worn because opals are watery and by wearing them the opal is always given some moisture. Contact with the skin is often sufficient. You can clean the opal from time to time with lukewarm water. This has a color-refreshing effect on the opal. Cleaning of opal should be done with hand-warm water. A mild detergent or a mild soap can also be used. A cloth or a brush can certainly be used. However, it is important to make sure that these are very soft, otherwise they will scratch the opal surface.
On the other hand, opal should not come into contact with hairspray, solvents or other harsh, abrasive or corrosive detergents or other chemicals. Opals also don't like extreme temperature fluctuations. Therefore, the opal jewelry should not be placed on the heater. In midsummer, therefore, no opal should lie in the car for a long time - especially not on the dashboard.
