Care:

Like all organic gemstones, caring for Opals requires extra attention. Opals can be cleaned with warm water and a soft cloth. Mild soap or detergent can be used if needed, but avoid harsh chemicals, including bleach, perfume or hairspray. Excessive heat and acid can weaken stability and iridescence.

The August birthstone symbolizes strength. It is sometimes called the evening emerald for it's light green color. It was once believed that the green Peridot crystals found in volcanic ashes were the tears of the volcano goddess, Pele. It is believed that the energies of this stone will infuse you with high intellect, fighting skills, and strategic thinking.
