Soaking opal into... (1)
Oh, my God !
The sauce, juice and alcohol has spilled all over me and my opal jewellery !!
What will happen to my opal ?!?
To see the result.
An idea of this experiment came up, thanks to one of our repeat customer, who's requested us to answer her anxiety.
Her point was, that she wasn't confident enough to wear her opal jewellery to a French Restaurant incase all the greesy sauce and other liquids might get spilled on her favorite opal jewellery.
Well, to help her out, we've experimented on these 4 opal loose stones from Lightning Ridge (Black opal field).
1.5ct
Into a 'Lemon juice'
(A fresh lemon from supermarket, just freshly squeezed.)
1.23ct
Into a 'Orange juice'
(100% freshly squeezed orange juice, no added sugar or preservtive.)
0.83ct
Into a 'Vinegar'
(Also from supermarket, known as a white vinegar)
1.23ct
Into a 'Red Wine'
(An affordable, A$3.00 a bottle of red wine from Australia. Alcohol level is 13%, very ordinary.)
Left to right: Vinegar, Wine, Orange juice and Lemon juice.
Can food ingredients damaged or effect any way to opals ?
Is opal really a delicate gemstone ?
Let's see if there's any difference in opals after our experiment.
