"Solid boulder opal is not usually affected by water. Opal jewelry can be cleaned on a regular basis. You should use mild soap, warm water and a soft cloth to wipe them down. Since opal is quite porous, you should also avoid the use of bleach, chemicals, cosmetics or household cleaners when wearing opal jewelry".
Necklace was handmade in St. Louis MO, USA by a brand new grandmother and MS warrior (dx in 2006).
