Browse Fire Opal Jewelry
The fire opal has gained popularity in recent times largely due to the fact that cutters have embraced the bright orange color and fantastic presence.
Found mainly in Mexico, fire opals are products of ancient volcanic activity and are quite different than other opals.
95% of white opals are mined in Australia and contain 6-10% of the ancient Artesian sea from which they first formed over 100 million years ago.
Contrary to opals found in parts of Australia, the fire opal usually does not display the play of color that is characteristic of most opals.
Similar to other opals, the fire opal has a high water content and must be protected from sunlight and heat to prevent the opal from drying out.
