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 gem is a beautiful, FIERY yellow-orange color stone with great "jelly" appearance and a "Modified Cut Corner Trillion" cut. The prices being paid for the older material (which this stone is), are going through the roof. This stone was cut by Brett Kosnar in November of 2008.
