Fire Opal

Item Description

Opal is beloved for its brilliant colors and various "styles" which range from opaque to water clear, and yet all of them are just as alluring. The famous Fire Opals from Queretaro are among the top examples in the world with their larger sized stones and intense colors. I've noticed that the price of good Mexican Fire Opals has been on the rise for several years, and it's becoming more difficult to obtain top quality gems with superb color like this. This "Pear" cut gem has an intense, FIERY red color with orange overtones. It just glows in the light and it's virtually eye clean to boot! Of course is has that classic internal "jelly"-like appearance, but it's still completely transparent. You don't see a lot of 5 carat+ gems with this color on teh market these days, so don't miss out. Priced at $501.00 retail.
