Don't worry Isi. You didn't kill it. The color will come back within 2 weeks. I suspect your opal is Ethiopian, not Mexican. Why? This crazy color process is commonly seen with Ethiopian goods. Therefore that is probable origin, IMO.

At that stage, I am not quite convinced 100 % still that the stone is dyed, in spite of this weird color, unsual but not unheard of. And if it is not dyed, it might as well be mexican. I will go on with my investigations on that opal which might soon end up in a lab.
