Very few are those gemstones that are considered to be unique in the lush world of the gemstones; and, one of those unique gems is the Mexican Opal, also known as Fire Opal. High admirers of Mexican Opals were the people of ancient India, Central America and Persia, who believed it to be a symbol of the most fervent love during those ancient ages. And as a matter of fact, the extent of vivacity that the Mexican Opals reflect made these ancient people believe that these gems have been created in the “waters of paradise”.
It is in the Mexican Highlands that the most fabulous and significant deposits of Fire Opals lie. These orange-red gemstones, often with slight clouding, distinguish themselves by their vibrant and beautiful color.
