NATURAL GEMSTONE VARIATION
Every natural Opal is unique. Individual beads may vary in body color, transparency, inclusions and intensity or pattern of play-of-color.
The appearance of Opal can also change significantly under different lighting and viewing angles. These variations are natural characteristics rather than defects.

OPAL CARE

Opal requires gentle care. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, perfumes, lotions, household chemicals and extreme temperature changes. Store separately from harder gemstones to help prevent scratching.
