FIRE OPAL - GEMSTONES

page 2
Fire opal is the orange variety of opal
that is found primarily in Mexico, although recently Brazil has been
producing some fine gems. The colors range from a pale
yellow
through the oranges to almost red, called cherry orange. Fire
opal
is the only variety of opal that is commonly faceted (because of its
clarity). A rare variety has a play of color inside the gemstone, this
is
referred to as precious fire opal.
Opal is the birthstone for October.More Information on Mexican
