Huge! 6.41ct rich mandarin orange Mexican Fire Opal!

Mexican fire opals are known for their vibrant, almost cartoonish, red orange body colors. But this example shows classic gemstone coloration with peaks and valleys in its saturation creating a unique display that will catch even the most experienced gem collectors off guard at first glance. The color of this opal is simply gorgeous. Its strong mandarin orange hue is rich and full, framed by a flow of vivid liquid flashing set beautifully against its glowing center and SI clarity. And since opals have less density than other gems, this top color example has a fantastic size to weight ratio measuring an impressive 13.1mm x 11.8mm x 8.5mm. UNTREATED!
