3.28ct NATURAL FIRE OPAL - Top Orange 14 x 10 x 4.5 mm Fire opal is an unusual variety of opal from Mexico. Colours range from yellow to red. The best stones usually show a vivid burnt red-orange combination. Unlike common opals, good-quality fire opals can be cut in facets. Fire opals are delicate gemstones, very sensitive to every stress. They are best suited for earrings, brooches, and pendants and need some good care. . Their most significant weakness has to do with their water content. If an opal is allowed to dry, it will crack and fade. Keeping them in a tight plastic bag, with a damp piece of cotton or fabric will prevent dehydration. Fire Opal a gemstone for the collector ! | ![]() |
