The carved details pull the deep amber-orange colour of the opal into view from different angles. It was cut in Vancouver, British Columbia by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/rubblerockandgem.com\/pages\/broken-ox-creations\"\u003eBroken Ox Creations\u003c\/a\u003e. The rough was mined at the Juniper Ridge Opal Mine near Bly, Oregon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOregon fire opal is a transparent to translucent precious opal made of hydrated silica, prized for its warm yellow, orange and red body colour rather than play-of-colour. It forms where silica-rich water fills cavities in volcanic rock and slowly hardens, and its colour comes mainly from trace iron. This stone comes from the Juniper Ridge Opal Mine near Bly in Lake County, Oregon. At a hardness of 5.5, it is best suited to pendants, earrings and protected settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetaphysically, fire opal is associated with passion, creativity, warmth and energy. It is often used as a symbolic stone for enthusiasm and creative expression. These associations come from spiritual and crystal traditions rather than scientifically established properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChemical Composition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hydrated silica, SiO₂·nH₂O\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMohs Hardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTreatment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural\/None\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1pc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWith this product, you will receive the actual stone shown in the photograph.
