The Opal With Maximum Transparency

Most opals as we know them, are opaque or transparent. But the fire opal is an exception, this gorgeous gemstone can show excellent transparency and clarity. With a color that could range from pure orange to a much deeper reddish-orange, the fire opal was first found in Mexico. Miners noticed the gemstone near the mountain ranges that is rich in extinct volcanoes. The discovery of the fire opal proved two important beliefs regarding opals wrong. Firstly, it is the only opal to show an impressive degree of clarity. Secondly, it was almost taken for granted that all good opals come from Australia, fire opals are generally found in Mexico and not Australia.

Fire opals look great in yellow or white gold. Understanding them will allow you to take good care of your fire opal ring or other fire opal jewel. Do not keep fire opal gems near a heat source, this could cause the natural moisture in the gemstone to dry up.
