Fire opal is the orange variety of opal that is found primarily in Mexico, although recently Brazil has been producing some fine gems. The colors range from a pale yellow through the oranges to almost red, called cherry orange. Fire opal is the only variety of opal that is commonly faceted (because of its clarity). A rare variety has a play of color inside the gemstone, this is referred to as precious fire opal. Opal is the birthstone for October. More Information on Mexican Fire Opal can be seen HERE.
