    You have all been so great in helping this hobbyist with past
    questions! Here's one more........ 

    I purchased the most amazing opal. The dealer called it Nevada opal,
    and it's full of brilliant greens, reds and blues. It also has many
    black veins throughout the stone (petrified wood?). I'm about to set
    it, but wonder if there is a way to protect it afterwards. Someone
    suggested placing it in a plastic bag with a wet  tissue to maintain 
    a high humidity level. 

Any other thoughts on its care?
