Frequently asked questions

Can you wear an Ethiopian opal ring every day?

Yes, with one habit: take it off before water. Opal rates 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, softer than quartz, and Ethiopian opal is hydrophane — porous enough to absorb water, up to about 15% of its own weight. A soaked stone can look cloudy or go glassy and lose its play of color until it dries out, which takes days or weeks. Rapid wetting and drying can also cause cracks. Remove the ring before showering, swimming, washing up and cleaning, and it will behave like any other stone.

What does hydrophane opal mean?

Hydrophane opal is porous and absorbs water. Ethiopian Welo opal is hydrophane; Australian opal generally is not. Absorption is not instant — it takes hours — and the stone dewaters over days to weeks, returning to its original appearance. The risk is not the water itself but the cycle: repeated soaking and drying can craze or crack the stone.

My opal looks cloudy or dull — what do I do?

Two different things, with two different answers. If it went cloudy or glassy soon after contact with water, it has absorbed some: leave it somewhere dry at room temperature, out of the sun, and give it days rather than hours. Never use heat, a hairdryer or direct sunlight — fast drying is what cracks opal. If instead it has gone dull slowly over months of wear, that is usually hand cream, soap and skin oils worked into the pores: a short rinse in clean water — seconds, not a soak — and then drying fully in open air, away from sun and heat, often brings it back. What to avoid either way is leaving it to soak, and repeated wetting and drying.

How hard is fire opal?

5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale. That is softer than quartz, sapphire and diamond, and softer than moonstone. It is fine for daily wear in a protective setting, but it will not survive being knocked against stone or metal.

Is opal a birthstone?

Yes, opal is one of the birthstones for October, along with tourmaline.

It's very elegant

Beautiful ring

My daughter is absolutely in love with her new ring. The fit is great, true to size, and the opal is so colorful and it flashes in the sunlight!

Almost there

Beautiful craftsmanship, but the stone is somewhat dull. Obviously difficult to get a perfect combination, and bearing that in mind, a good purchase.
