This Mexican fire opal features a unique vibrant color, ranging from reddish orange to orangish red. It can be used on its own to craft elegant earrings or rings, or paired with other gemstones in complementary colors to design intricate pieces like bracelets and necklaces. The gemstone is transparent and free from any visible imperfections to the naked eye.
Fire opal is distinguished by its fiery red-orange hue, attributed to small amounts of iron oxide, and lacks the play of colors typical in other opals. Despite this, fire opal, like other opals, consists of silicon and water. The Aztec civilization believed that a gem displaying such fiery beauty must have originated from the seas of Paradise. Fire opal is unique as it is usually faceted, unlike other natural opals.
Round-cut gemstones are widely favored and readily available. Rio's round gemstones are precisely sized and meticulously examined to ensure their utmost allure.
