This is a chemical acid and Opal is a very soft and porous stone. It will need to be removed first-- pro tip: if you blacken the setting before resetting the stone, you'll actually set off a lot more of the fire and color play. **Q: Is flatware safe to use after being treated with jax silver blackener?** A: It will flake off. **Q: How long does it stay on the silver?** A: As long as you let it. **Q: Can you lighten up the finish with steel wool if needed?** A: yes, a buffing wheel with polishing compound works for me, also very fine sandpaper, it turns almost black very quickly, if you leave it in a long time it becomes black but then its also much harder to polish the parts you want silver. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Obsessed! *by C***M on January 24, 2025* I am so beyond happy with this product.
