Ethiopian Opal Specimen

Price: $33.33 CAD

Water Sensitivity: EXTREME. Never soak it. It will absorb water, oils, soaps, and perfumes. Contaminants can permanently turn the stone yellow, brown, or "kill" the flash. Because it is hydrophane, if you soak it in water, it can become crystal clear and lose its "fire." Once it dries out (which can take days), the colour usually returns.

Chemical Warning: Do not wear while using lotion, hairspray, or cleaning products; the stone will literally drink the chemicals. 

This material is fragile and should be treated with care to avoid accidental damage.

This material is photosensitive. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or strong artificial light can cause colour to fade.

This material is heat-sensitive. High temperatures may cause thermal shock, dehydration, or colour fading/alteration.

This material is water-sensitive. High-humidity or water may damage this material by causing them to dissolve, rust, crack, or lose their lustre. Water can trigger chemical reactions, such as oxidation in metal-bearing stones, or cause soft, porous, or salt-based minerals to degrade.

Opal shows a shifting, liquid light with flashes of bright neon under its surface. It comes from ancient volcanic fire and holds a mix of fire and moonlight, glowing with colours that flicker, vanish, and reappear when you least expect them. Opal changes with you, reflecting your mood, energy, and imagination. It is known as a stone of dreams, intuition, and gentle change.
