    I have seen emeralds which have been stored for long periods in a
    climate controlled safety deposit box in stone papers. All of the
    oil from the emerald "oiling" had leached out and had been absorbed
    by the stone papers and the emeralds looked horrible. 

    I imagine it might be an issue with pearls and opals also.
