How to take care of an Opal stone?

Due to the high water content, opals are one of the most delicate gems. These are prone to damage due to mild scratching, and can easily crack or craze when exposed to high temperature, dehydration or direct light for a long span of time. This is why it is advised to take extra caution while wearing an alluring Opal. People prefer to wear these in pendants as it allows less direct contact as compared to a ring.
