Very beautiful fire opal from Mexico, extracted from the volcanic deposits of Jalisco. This specimen captivates with its brilliant opalescence, blending yellow, green, and orange reflections of remarkable intensity. The natural cavity reveals a translucent core with exceptional internal luminosity, harmoniously contrasting with the pinkish-beige matrix typical of the region.
