Mexican fire opal...

[sweetstone15]

This perticular stone is so very much close to the ideal it was a treat to buy-the cutter, Frank of Pa, cut this stone from a parcel he bought from a private collector, cut/polished the stone with great care because the material was soooo good, my jeweler, John went the extra mile to fit the stone in the setting, 18kt yellow gold, to the point of polishing the prongs so that if the metal touches the stone, it wont scar the material, finish is a diamond cut, measures 14 x 7mm, & 4.54cts, color is wonderful to see-steve... ...
