Natural Mexican fire opal Fire Opal - Height: 41 mm - Width: 23 mm- 11 g - (1)

This extraordinary pendant is made of 925 silver and features a genuine high-quality Mexican fire opal, sourced from the Querétaro mines in Mexico. The gem stands out for the fascinating contrast between the vivid red core and the beige-pink outer opaline matrix, creating a deep and enveloping visual effect. The inner portion, translucent and brilliant, reflects light with a glassy luminosity that enhances the natural hues of the mineral. The Mexican fire opal is a variety of opal that, unlike common opal, displays tones ranging from orange to intense red, often without the classic play of colors but with extraordinary brilliance. The coloration is due to traces of iron in the crystal lattice of the stone. These opals form inside volcanic cavities, where silica, percolating with water through volcanic rocks, gives rise to these magnificent specimens. Historically, the Aztecs attributed mystical properties to the fire opal, considering it a symbol of life, energy and rebirth. Pendant material: 925 silver Stone: natural Mexican fire opal Gem origin: Querétaro, Mexico Properties: stone associated with passion, vitality, protection and creative strength.
