Fire Opal

Fire opal is a bright and colorful gemstone that can be clear or slightly cloudy, known for its red, orange and yellow colors that come from natural iron inside the stone. Most fire opals are found in Mexico, which is why they are often called mexican fire opals. This stone has been loved since ancient Aztec and Mayan times and is usually cut in smooth or shiny styles for jewelry. Fire opal is linked with passion, creativity and strength but because it is not very hard, it needs gentle care while wearing or storing.
