Afterwards thev should bo lightly brushed until all traces of sawdust aro removed. Opals, pearls, and turquoise should not bo washed, but polished with a soft silk handkerchief. Pearl ornaments or necklaces may bo cleaned in powdered magnesia. This should bo sprinkled thickly over them, so that it completely covers tho stones. It should be left on for a day or so and then carefully brushed off. Amber may bo cleaned with a paste made of powdered whitening and water. Tho paste should bo allowed to dry on tho amber, and then polished off with a soft cloth.
