Attention

95% of Ethiopian opals are naturally hydrophilic: they love water and can absorb a small amount of it.
That is why it is better to keep them in a small container of water when you are not handling them.
This helps preserve their stability, prevent micro-variations in color caused by drying, and maintain a beautiful, constant play of light.
