Item Description
Some of the most well known Fire Opal in the world is from Mexico. These stones are among some of the biggest, brightest and most intense color Fire Opals from North America. There has been a surge in the price of fine quality Fire Opal from Mexico in the last few years, as the material seems to be more and more difficult to obtain, especially in such vivid stones like this one. This "Pear" cut gem has a beautiful, FIERY red-orange color, with attractive, sparkling, jelly-like appearance and very slight inclusions. It's also a bigger stone for the material, and would make a great piece of jewelry, or would stand on its own as a beautiful gem of this material.
