High-saturation Mexican Fire Opal in a bold, translucent orange with a precision oval cut that maximizes brilliance and internal glow. The vivid body color is due to trace iron content within the silica structure—entirely natural and untreated. Unlike play-of-color opals, Fire Opals are admired for their pure body tone, especially in clean faceted material.
This gem comes from the volcanic regions of Querétaro, Mexico, the world’s most important source of Fire Opal. Known for their fiery appearance and excellent durability, clean specimens like this are increasingly hard to come by in larger sizes.
