Mexican Fire Opal from La Trinidad, Mexico preserved in its natural rhyolite host rock. While fire opal from this locality is usually prized for its vivid body color, examples that also display full play of color are quite rare. This specimen shows bright flashes of green, blue, and red against the pale volcanic rhyolite matrix, creating a striking natural contrast. Precious opal occurrences within rhyolite from La Trinidad are highly collectible, as they combine both locality rarity and the unusual presence of play of color in a deposit best known for non-precious fire opal
