Incredible Fire Opal Pendant Fire Opal - Height: 43 mm - Width: 21

This extraordinary pendant is made of 925 sterling silver and features an authentic high-quality Mexican fire opal 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 vitreous luminosity that enhances the natural nuances of the mineral. The Mexican fire opal is a variety of opal that, unlike common opal, displays tones ranging from orange to deep red, often without the classic play of color but with extraordinary brilliance. The coloration is due to traces of iron in the stone's crystal lattice. 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 fire opal, considering it a symbol of life, energy and rebirth. Pendant material: 925 Silver Stone: natural Mexican fire opal Gem origin: Querétaro, Mexico Property: Stone associated with passion, vitality, protection and creative strength.
