DESERT OPALS: Desert Opals have a distinct interplay of color and light while being as as tough and as rugged as the Southwest itself. Desert Opals are synthetically engineered opals that will not crack or become cloudy. They are not sensitive to temperature or household chemicals. There is no oiling or maintenance required. Contemporary Native American artists have found that Desert Opals are durable enough to be used in the intricate inlay pieces for which they are known.
