Description from the seller
This splendid ring is made of 925 silver and enhanced by a magnificent Mexican fire opal, set in a smooth and elegant mounting. The gem displays a suggestive combination of deep red and bright orange tones, with natural transparencies that create a visual effect of extraordinary depth. The fire opal, originating from the Querétaro mines in Mexico, is known for its vibrant energy and the rarity of its coloration. The innermost part of the gem, with vitreous luster, stands out against the dull and porous contour of the matrix "lava opalina", revealing all the strength and vitality of this unique stone. Symbol of passion and creativity, the fire opal is considered a stone that stimulates inner energy and enthusiasm for life.
