Hmm, how's this?

Backstory: Opal's father was a geologist who met Bixbite. The two fell madly in love and eventually married. However, only a few years into their marriage, Opal's father took Opal and left, leaving him to raise his only child by himself. This turned out to be too much of a struggle for him, so he dropped her off at an orphanage. It was there that Opal found about her powers.

Opal was about twelve when she was finally adopted. When she reached out to take her new father's hand, he turned into solid quartz. While terrified, she managed to run away and live on the streets. Looking for guidance, she went to many temples and prayed to understand what happened and why suddenly whatever she touched turned into a gem. One deity agreed to help her on the condition that she would owe him a favor later. She quickly agreed, and he gave her her white gloves that blocked her powers and told her about her mother being a goddess. He told Opal of her mother's location, and soon after, she became reunited.
