It is the preferred choice for luxury jewelry in Taxco.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How do I care for an opal?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Opals can dry out if exposed to very dry environments. Store your earrings in a closed case, avoid direct heat and chemicals (perfume, chlorine).
