These gorgeous fire opals come from Mexico. They were originally kept in water to show their colour better, but they've been packaged and photographed dry. They are all packed in protective plastic membrane shells. They are all completely raw - no treatment or polish. They all have the beautiful fire/play of colour that define them as gem opals instead of common opals, but some have it more than others. Photos are not the best way to capture these pieces, so we are able to send videos on request.
