<p>[QUOTE=&quot;808 raver, post: 11101375, member: 4654&quot;]TBH there are a lot of things that can cause any opal to suffer damage, including chemicals, perfume &amp; sunlight, impurities in the stone ie iron oxide ect, creams. Opals can dry out or get too wet, an opal isn&#039;t a crystal structure like diamond so some are brittle and some scratch easily. My Wife gave my mother-in-law a opal for her 70th, we gave her a long list of things not to do,&nbsp; her sister inherited a Aus black opal in a ring, that has suffered a lot of damage because it&#039;s been treated so badly. I really don&#039;t know what has caused the damage in the first place, I&#039;ll include a video of what not to do in a hope you can say this is what caused it to go brown and then maybe we can find an answer </p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]ZIfm1uM2Ejk[/MEDIA][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
