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 piece features a patch of rich orange precious Opal with a bit of eye-catching color flash sitting in rhyolite matrix. It's an attractive and colorful stone of this well-known material.
