Opal is a valuable stone because it comes from sedimentary rocks. This type of stone can be cleaned easily by gently cleaning the surface with a microfiber cloth.
If needed, use washing soap and wash it with warm water, then rinse it using a dry microfiber and put it in the open air and dry it naturally.
However, Ethiopian opals are somewhat different because they come from volcanic rocks and are hydroplane in nature. Immersion in water can reduce color gradation, at least temporarily, and may cause permanent damage to the opal stone.
As a result, all opal stones from Ethiopia cannot be cleaned with water or liquid or any other type of cleaner. Opal hydrophone must be cleaned only by using a clean, dry and soft microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints, dirt, oil and other residues.
In addition, Ethiopian opal should not be in direct contact with the skin because the skin can absorb sweat and sweat can damage opal. It is recommended to wear it only on clothing so it is not exposed to the touch of the skin.
Bracelets or necklaces made of horn or other materials such as opal are organic materials that use the best quality ingredients and have good durability to be used frequently.
