! Opals begin as a mixture of silicon dioxide and water. When fresh water (from rain or streams) runs down over sandstone, it picks up silica from the sandstone. This silica and water solution finds its way into cracks and crevices. When the water evaporates, mostly the silica is left (with a microscopic amount of H2O) and an opal is created. The process, although seemingly simple, takes millions of years and specific pressure to create one opal. Opals are all one of a kind and each has its own beauty. Opals are about 5-6 on the Moh's scale of hardness which is about the same hardness as glass. Care should be taken so they are not scratched. To protect their beauty, they should not be stored in direct sunlight or worn when doing strenuous activity. They should also be removed when showering or bathing because they can be affected by soaps, perfumes or chemicals. With reasonable care, this ring will become an heirloom!
