Description from the seller

*Radiance Level Disclaimer*

At GeoPulse Minerals, we use our own internal classification system to evaluate the light performance of Mexican Fire Opals.
This system is based exclusively on the intensity, stability and chromatic strength of the fire, play of colour, displayed by each specimen, as fallows:

Radiance Level I - Soft Glow
Gentle internal light with delicate colour movement.

Radiance Level II - Bright Glow
Noticeable radiance with stable brightness and defined flashes.

Radiance Level III - Intense Radiance
Strong, vivid fire with powerful colour response from multiple angles.

Radiance Level IV - Flame Radiance
Top tier. Maximum intensity, highly saturated flame-like play of colour and exceptional optical behaviour.

This scale allows collectors to immediately understand the visual strength and rarity category of each opal we present.

Radiance Level III - *ITENSE RADIANCE*

Description:
A Mexican fire opal sculpted in the geothermal heat of Jalisco’s volcanic fields, where silica rich waters condense into pockets of living colour. This specimen presents the classic cantera body, its natural earthy matrix embracing a vibrant triangular window of light, a chamber where electric greens and deep ocean blues ignite with every shift of illumination.

The play of colour is sharp, saturated and immediate, showing the kind of internal fire found only in the richest micro veins of the region. The opal remains partially encased in its natural host rock, as if nature revealed just enough of its inner flame without giving it fully away. It is a piece of character, intensity and authenticity, ideal for collectors who appreciate Mexican fire opals with strong radiance and precise contrast.

Specifications:
• Weight: 0.72 g
• Carat weight: 3.60 ct
• Dimensions: 11 × 9 × 6 mm
• Origin: Jalisco, Mexico
• Material: Natural fire opal in matrix
• Radiance Level III - Intense Radiance
• Colour play: Electric green and deep blue flashes concentrated in a defined triangular window
• Transparency: Opaque matrix with luminous internal fire
• Treatment: None
• Form: Natural cabochon in matrix

Notable Points:
• Strong, concentrated play of colour showing electric green and deep blue flashes
• Distinct and sharply defined triangular fire window
• Natural cantera matrix providing dramatic contrast and geological authenticity
• Stable light reaction under angle change, typical of highgrade Jalisco fire opal pockets
• Ideal size and aesthetic for premium collector display or artistic jewellery design

Collector Interest:
This specimen stands out for its luminous intensity and the striking contrast between its matrix and fire window, a highly prized combination among collectors of Mexican fire opals. The cabochon form and strong, focused radiance make it a compelling choice for display or fine jewellery integration.

Lapidary Potential:
Perfect for pendants, artistic settings, or minimalist jewellery designs where the fire window can remain fully exposed. The natural oval structure allows fluid incorporation into bespoke creations.

——————

Photography and transparency:
All photos were taken under controlled light conditions, carefully selected to reproduce the most accurate natural color of each specimen. No filters, color enhancement, or artificial saturation were applied. The lighting setup is used exclusively to represent the piece as it appears under neutral daylight, ensuring that buyers can appreciate its true tones and luster without distortion.

Identification and ethics:
All specimens offered are guaranteed natural and as described. Their origin and mineral identification are provided with the most accurate and reliable information available. Every effort is made to ensure that each piece is presented with full transparency, avoiding any misleading details regarding its nature, treatment, or provenance.

Shipments are made within 1 to 3 business days after payment confirmation, always with a tracking number provided to the buyer. Each order is handled with professional care from selection to dispatch, ensuring a smooth and trustworthy process.

Customs and import taxes:
Any customs duties, import fees, or local taxes applied by the destination country are entirely the responsibility of the winning bidder. These charges are not included in the auction price or shipping cost and are determined by the buyer’s local authorities.

Guarantee and resolution:
Customer satisfaction is a priority. In the event of any issue, such as loss, damage, or discrepancy, please contact us immediately through Catawiki’s messaging system. We will always find a fair and suitable solution, including refund, replacement, or other commercial arrangements whenever justified.
