The Mayans and Aztecs both adored this gem and it was used in mozaics and rituals.
In mexico we still find the most significant deposits in the world.

Caring for your opal.
Fire opals like all the opal family have a high percentage of water.
To keep that deep vibrant luster at its best avoid long periods of very strong direct sunlight and protect it from abrasions and knocks where possible.
I have one more of these fantastic gems available and can custom make a ring to your size for this price.
