This is a solid Australian opal hand cut here in Melbourne. Solid opals can be worn in water.
Please note; in person this opal throws much less green than appears in photos and a lot more red tones.
Opal is a beautiful but soft stone and requires a good amount of care to ensure it stays intact and retains its original lustre.
Opal is approximately the same hardness as glass (around 6.5 on Moh’s hardness scale), so it is important to treat your opal carefully in order to avoid damaging it. Remove your opal jewellery if there is a chance it will be scratched or broken (i.e. working in the garden, moving furniture, etc.)
Opal maybe be cleaned with a soft toothbrush and soapy water.
