Discoloured opal

Hi all,

My family got me an opal pendant about two years ago and I had no idea they were so porous. I wore it a couple of times in the summer, so sunscreen was involved and now the opal is pretty yellow. This is it after a very very light and brief swish in lukewarm water and gentle soap. Is there any saving it or is it completely toast/stuck this yellow colour forever? Thank you 😭
