This is a Mexican opal that can be called a fire opal, with an orange body color. Fire opals with play-of-color are rare and have a high market value.
This Mexican opal is over 1 carat, and its lack of thickness gives it a larger face-up size. Opal has a specific gravity of around 2, which is relatively light among minerals, about half that of sapphire, so it feels larger than its carat weight suggests.
While the play-of-color in this Mexican opal isn't extravagant, it's certainly enjoyable as a precious opal.
This fire opal is a rare gem, with a fine, sparkling pinfire play-of-color and a sophisticated look due to its fancy oval cut with a framed girdle.
Please take a look at this rare fire opal with play-of-color.
*Opal can change color due to moisture and oils, so it is recommended to wipe it thoroughly before storing it after taking it out of its case or touching it.
