Description
Mined from: Mexico
Description: Mexican Fire Opal is a striking variety of opal known for its vibrant orange, red, and yellow hues, often with a translucent or jelly-like appearance. Unlike traditional opals with a play-of-color, many Mexican fire opals are prized for their intense body color rather than iridescence. Mexican Fire Opals form in volcanic regions, where hot silica-rich solutions cool and solidify in cavities and fissures, often in rhyolitic lava flows. These specimens feature abundant fire opal pockets embedded in their natural matrix, showcasing a stunning contrast of vibrant opal against its host rock.
Mexican Fire Opal is believed to ignite passion, creativity, and confidence, making it a stone of motivation and vitality. Its fiery hues are associated with energy and transformation, inspiring boldness and emotional expression.
