Just click <a href="http://www.opalmine.com/opal-information/opal-care/" rel="nofollow">here </a>for information about opal care . There's no problem putting opal in water. the only thing you have to be careful of is if you have an opal triplet, which is an opal with a clear crystal cap to protect it. if you constantly put stones like this in hot and detergent water, it can lift the cap off. So if you like, take a picture of your opal and submit it on this forum. i will take a look at it and let you know what you have and what to do to take care of it. but in the meantime, please read the information in the link provided.

Do you have a copy of the 'opal bloke' CD ? It gives you over 30 years of experience in dealing with rough opal as well as a heap of other stuff. you can get it for free with $120 worth of rough opal. Easy to double your money on that. The details are somewhere on the site where it discusses rough opal. best wishes Marty, Peter Thanks Marty. Do you have a copy of the ‘opal bloke’ CD ?
