Mexican fire opal - 2.26 ct stone, mixed rectangular cut
History and origin
Discovered at the heart of the famous Magdalena mine in Mexico, this natural fire opal stands out for its exceptional chromatic intensity. Extracted strictly by artisanal means in December 2024, this 2.26-carat gem displays a pure, vibrant orange hue, characteristic of the most coveted specimens from this volcanic region. Selected for its crystal clarity and perfect transparency, it embodies the rarity and wild beauty of the Mexican lands.
The art of cutting: magnified refraction
Crafted with rigorous precision by our artisans, this piece features a mixed rectangular cut. This faceting diagram was specially designed to enhance the stone’s limpid quality and allow light to pass through its crystalline structure. Its balanced dimensions, 10.84 x 8.30 x 5.39 mm, make it an ideal center stone, ready to be set in a unique high-jewelry creation or to join a discerning collection.
