Having strikingly simulated bright red-orange hue, Mexican fire opal captures the glow of volcanic lava streams within which it formed. Many people mistakenly think that a fire opal is simply an opal with a lot of red showing its beautiful, iridescent display of colors. This is an understandable mistake as the word “fire” usually refers to this beautiful iridescent display of colors opals possess, not the opal’s actual body color.
