How do you look after an opal?

To care for an opal, store it in a soft cloth or padded box to protect it from scratches and impacts. Avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight, as these can damage its unique play of color. Clean your opal gently with a soft, damp cloth and avoid ultrasonic cleaners. Regularly check for any signs of damage or loose settings if it's set in jewelry.
