Andean Opal has a rich history and has been used in ancient cultures for thousands of years. The ancients of the Andean region in Peru, known as the Incas, were said to ascribe potent spiritual potency to the gemstone, employing it in devotional rituals and ceremonies. Andean Opal is still considered to be a sacred mineral and is highly valued by the local people.
It's very important to not expose your Opal to sunlight, as this stone has water within. This occurrence will cause your specimen to become very dry and brittle, and potentially break.
