fire opals
Fiery Mexican stones
Fire opals are a variety of opal prized for their vivid orange, yellow, or red body color rather than the iridescent play of light found in precious opals.
Most come from Mexico, where they're sometimes called Mexican fire opals.
The finest specimens are transparent with an intense, flame-like glow: She wore a fire opal pendant that seemed to hold captured sunlight.
