Set of three cantera fire opals displaying vivid red body color with flashes of green and orange fire. These stones are cut with portions of their volcanic rhyolite matrix intact, emphasizing their natural origin. Cantera opals from Magdalena are highly regarded for their durability and striking appearance, with each piece preserving the fiery opal core protected by its host rock. Collectors value these as both lapidary curiosities and as fine examples of Mexico’s rich opal tradition.
