2.98 Ct. Cabochon Fire Opal from Mexico

A singular Fire Opal of rare presence, offered in a semi transparent cabochon cut, this gem weighs 2.98 carats and measures 10.12 x 8.16 x 6.33 mm, an oval shape that balances bold color with intimate scale. The surface presents an excellent polish that amplifies the vivid orange color intensity, while the gentle dome of the cabochon invites light to reveal subtle internal life. No enhancement has been applied, no treatments have altered its natural character, and the result is a stone that feels authentically alive and unmistakably natural. This is not a mass produced offering, it is a discrete jewel with the kind of presence that collectors seek when they desire pieces that quietly declare distinction.
