"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".
