Ethiopian opal care instructions:
Ethiopian opals are stunning but delicate gems that require special care. Unlike Australian opals, Ethiopian opals are hydrophane, meaning they can absorb water and other liquids. This makes them more vulnerable to changes in appearance and damage if not handled properly. Here are detailed care instructions:
Avoid soaking: Do not submerge Ethiopian opals in water, oils, or cleaning solutions. They can absorb liquids, which may change their color, clarity, or even cause cracking when they dry out.
Remove before activities like swimming, bathing, dishwashing, or heavy cleaning.
