This handmade necklace features an Ethiopan hydrophane opal set in sterling and fine silver with a hand-stamped star border. It hangs from an 18" sterling silver snake chain.
Hydrophane opals are porous and absorb water. When immersed in water for long periods of time, their color changes to a dark gray. However, once they are removed from the water, their color magically returns as they dry. This phenomenon is interesting and unique, but please don't try it with this piece! Instead, you can watch a video of it .
--Please familiarize yourself with my before purchasing.--

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
As with all handmade jewelry, this piece is delicate and should not be worn during strenuous activity or in water. Please take care to remove it while swimming, bathing, washing hands, playing sports, etc. and avoid applying oils and lotions while wearing it. Avoid prolonged immersion in water. If stones absorb water, let them dry thoroughly before wearing. Depending on how much, they can take up to a week to dry. Absolutely avoid exposure to chemicals which can also damage the stone. High heat or an intense light over long periods can also be damaging to this delicate stone.
