A SPECTACULAR specimen of a Mexican fire opal nodule in rhyolite matrix. The vivid play of colors, particularly the greens, makes for a beautiful specimen. SELDOM do you see this material, in this quality, preserved in matrix. The value as cutting rough is too great!! The opal nodule is visible on three sides. Mexican fire opal gets its name from the reddish-orange tint to the opal, like fire. From an uncommon Mexican locality.
