In this video, I explain why opals contain water inside their internal structure and what happens when they lose that moisture. Unlike diamonds or sapphires, opals are more delicate because part of their beauty depends on hydration. When they dry out, they can develop cracks known as crazing, which can significantly reduce their value.
This is a simple and important explanation every gem collector and beginner should understand before handling or storing an opal.
