Fire Opal (with slight color flash)

Item Description

These gems are some of the most popular Opals for color, gemminess and the ever popular "Contra Luz" effect. This "Oval Cabochon" cut gem has a beautiful creamy orange and gemmy orange color combination in transmitted light, but in reflected light, it shows a slight amount of color flash. Now the color flash is best seen in sunlight or with a strong flashlight against a black background, and this stone was photographed under a strong flashlight to show the color flash. When strongly lit, this stone shows tiny flashes of red, green and gold. A cool representative gem of these classic Opals.
