Another Friday, another opal! This is a Mexican Fire Opal, also known as Mexican Jelly Opal.
This is one of my favorite opals. The colors put me in a positive state of mind when I look at it and so I have it sitting on my desk next to my computer.
I purchased it and 7 other pieces from a dealer in Quartzite. He has a permanent shop in town and sells minerals from Mexico.
What I really like about this opal specimen is the opal itself is lavender/violet colored. Just outside of the opal is a red layer that accents it.
very beautiful Gemstone - used to be used before making dynamite 🧨

Thanks @russia-btc. I am often tempted to cut it in half to see what is on the inside.

Thanks Melinda. It really is special compared to my other Mexican Opals. I was quite surprised to find it mixed in with the other opals when I was digging through the crate of them. I'll be adding it to the personal collection until a more stunning one comes along.

Thanks @janton. It's got some character to it. The cool thing is depending on where I am sitting, the colors change.

Thanks @nat-expressions. I try to seek out rare stones and stones with character. I'm glad to be showing people some new specimens they may have not have seen or heard of before. The mineral world is so full of different minerals even I am constantly learning of new ones.
