Please note:
Ethiopian opals are "hydrophane", which makes them absorb water. Absorbing too much water may result in unwanted temporary changes to these opals.
Opals left in water may lose their fire temporarily and turn yellow or brown. The color will come back once the Opal has fulky dried, which can take a few minutes to weeks, depending on how much water they managed to absorb. Opals should be allowed to dry naturally, abrupt temperature changes can damage opals.
Ethiopian Opals can be damaged by perfumes, soaps, cleaning products, and other liquids. These liquids can stain your opals, which will also result in a change in color.
