Avoid other liquids like perfumes, soaps, cleaning products, lotion, cosmetics, and excessive sweat. If an opal accidentally becomes wet, simply dry the opal with a soft microfiber cloth and let it air dry for 24 hours. Any water absorbed will naturally leave, and its play of color should be restored to its previous state without cracking.
