An absolute rarity – a true Precious Mexican Fire Opal cabochon displaying vivid play-of-color against a saturated orange-red body color, the holy grail of Mexican opals.

The opal is cradled in a bold 14k yellow gold split-shank mount signed “MEX TJ-36 B & B 14K”, with ten bright natural diamonds (five per shoulder) adding just the right amount of sparkle. From a prominent Maui estate, this is the kind of opal that collectors wait years to find. exceptional quality color and pure wearable fire.
