    I can't remember ever reading a book about opal that did not mention
    horror stories of people who left their opal jewelry in safe deposit
    boxes, only to find them on the next visit, cracked and/or broken. I
    don't have personal experience with it, but I'm sure it happens. 

    Yes, the bank is climate-controlled, in a way. But air conditioning
    most certainly does de-humidify the air. The answer to your question
    is yes, long-term storage in a safe deposit box can dry out her
    jewelry. Any long-term storage in air conditioning will do so.
