This 925 sterling silver pendant features a natural Mexican fire opal in a white matrix from Querétaro, Mexico.
Description from the seller
This extraordinary pendant is made of 925 silver and features an authentic high-quality Mexican fire opal, sourced from the Querétaro mines in Mexico. The gem stands out for the fascinating contrast between the vivid red core and the beige-pink opaline outer matrix, creating a deep and enveloping visual effect. The inner portion, translucent and brilliant, reflects light with a glassy glow that enhances the natural nuances of the mineral. 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 colors 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 lava rocks, gives rise to these magnificent specimens. Historically, the Aztecs attributed mystical properties to the fire opal, considering it a symbol of life, energy, and rebirth. Pendant material: 925 silver Stone: Natural Mexican fire opal Gem origin: Querétaro, Mexico Properties: Stone associated with passion, vitality, protection, and creative strength.
