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 light golden color gem with EXCELLENT WATER CLEAR "jelly" appearance and an "Oval Cabochon" cut. The stone shows a slight "Contra Luz" flash of green and blue when the stone is rotated in the light.
