Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
Our Most Frequently Asked Questions:
Can you shower with opal jewelry?
We do not recommend showering with your opal jewelry on. Although water alone is not harmful to Australian Opals, other chemical agents used while showering can be, and it’s best to avoid possible loss down the drain.
Where is opal found?
Opal is found in many countries around the world including Australia, Ethiopia, Brazil, Mexico, and the United States.
Is there opal in the US?
Yes, the US is among the places in the world where opal can be found. Oregon, Nevada, and Idaho are just a few of the states in the US in which opal stone can be found. Read our blog: Opal hunting in the US to learn more.
How to care for opals?
Avoid impact and chemical contact and store your opal jewelry in a protected, temperature-neutral location. To clean them, use warm water with a soft brush and gentle soap. We also offer Jewelry Cleaner for opals on site. For more specific care instructions, please see our blog: How Do You Properly Care for Opal?
Can opals get wet?
Solid Australian Opals can get wet, however Opal Doublets and Opal Triplets should not be exposed to water. We do not recommend getting Ethiopian Opals wet due to inconsistent experience with their hydrophane make-up. Read more on this topic.
What is a doublet opal? An opal triplet?
An opal doublet is a thin layer of natural opal adhered to a backing - usually potch (common, non-valuable opal). An opal triplet is a doublet with a third layer of quartz or glass atop the thin layer of opal.
Difference between Ethiopian and Australian Opal?
Ethiopian Opals are formed under volcanic conditions, are hydrophane (water-loving) and often have a more jelly-like appearance than Australian Opals. Australian Opals form under sedimentary conditions whereby running water picks up a silica-rich solution as it slips into the cavities of rocks, leaving behind a deposit of opal as the water evaporates.
