Ethiopian Oval Fiery Rainbow Opal:
Ethiopian Opal is a hydrated silica mineraloid known for its shifting play of colour. These opals often show vivid rainbow flashes across a milky, clear, golden, or honey-toned body.

Care and Maintenance:
Sterling silver naturally develops patina over time when exposed to air, moisture, and skin oils. Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth after wear. Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in an airtight pouch or jewelry box. Avoid perfume, chlorine, household cleaners, swimming, bathing, and intense physical activity while wearing the piece.
Ethiopian Opal should be treated with extra care. Avoid prolonged water exposure, ultrasonic cleaners, chemical dips, harsh heat, rough impact, and abrasive polishing compounds. Tourmaline should also be protected from hard knocks and rough storage.
