Fire Opal


Gemstone Mondays!!

Fire Opal is an unusual variety of opal from transparent to translucent, and rarely displays play-of-color. Reddish material is commonly called cherry opal. Notable sources include Brazil, Guatemala, and Mexico. This is one of my favorite gemstones.  It is so unique and vibrant.
