Fire Opal (with slight color flash)

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. This gem is a beautiful stone with slight translucent "jelly" appearance and an "Oval Cabochon" cut. The Opal is a light golden color and shows a tiny bit of beautiful "Contra Luz" effect with flashes of green, gold and red when the stone is rotated in the light. Please note that this gem was difficult to photograph, but looks better in person than the photos might indicate. A great little gem of this classic material.
