It forms in volcanic rock in the Peruvian Andes, where traces of copper provide its characteristic mint-turquoise color. Unlike the well-known fire opal, Andean opal usually does not show a play of color, but rather soft, milky cloud patterns that make every stone unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eHow do I properly care for my Andean opal?

You should avoid direct, intense sunlight for long periods, as the stone could dry out and develop fine cracks. With a Mohs hardness of 5.5 to 6.5, it is more delicate than quartz, so be careful with impacts. Moonlight or a selenite plate are best for charging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eHow can I recognize a genuine Andean opal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eGenuine Andean opal shows a slightly waxy to matte surface with natural clouds and color gradients rather than a uniformly colored surface.
