Fire Opal Chips 50g

Fire opal is a gemstone name given to a variety of the mineral opal which tends to be a yellow to orange and at times, red hue of colour. This blend of colours results in some pieces looking quite fiery indeed. This particular variety comes from Mexico, it is red and orange in colour with some yellow, very deep, rich and vibrant, definitely eye catching. The peices are chips, as with most opal, which is a silica mineral, it is naturally shiny and smooth, these pieces have not been polished. Sizes of the pieces range from 5 to 10 mm and is available in lots of 50 gram weights, supplied in a small pouch with a label.
