Peruvian opal displays solid blue-green color from copper content rather than the play-of-color fire seen in Australian opals. It forms in Andean volcanic rock and has a translucent, sometimes opaque appearance.
At 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, Peruvian opal requires some care. Remove rings during manual work, gardening, or cleaning. Store separately from harder gemstones to prevent scratching.
Use lukewarm water and mild soap with a soft cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam cleaning, and harsh chemicals. Opals can absorb liquids, so limit water exposure time.
