A hundred million years ago the area around White Cliffs was on the edge of a vast inland sea, a fact that explains the discovery here of opalised plesiosaur skeletons, bivalve shells and gastropods in addition to opal pineapples and spectacular gem-quality opal.

 

This particular mine is operated by Graeme Dowton who has lived in the area for 26 years and offers tours most afternoons. He is a friendly and interesting bloke who has a passion for what he does. My wife Roz and I took the tour along with Kay (pictured) and her husband Peter. Graeme used his hydraulic digger to uncover seems of rock where it was likely that opals could be found. He then coached Roz and Kay in how to scratch around for gemstones using a screw driver. The two of them got into it with great energy and enthusiasm and after about an hour-and-a-half Kay heard a tell-tale sound like that of metal clinking on glass. She had struck a pineapple.

 

Opal pineapples are rare and highly prized gemstones commanding prices in the tens of thousands of dollars. They consist of crystal clusters that, over millions of years, have been opalised. Typically they are about the size of an orange with a pattern of exterior protrusions vaguely reminiscent of the skin of a pineapple. They are found only in White Cliffs and only in a few of its mines.

Do You Know, These unique opals come to life when they slowly absorb water. It should be

noted that hydrophane opals absorb and lose water very slowly, so there is no need

to panic if one is dropped into water, or is away from water for a while. It would

seem that Ethiopian hydrophane opals are similar to us in this respect; they almost

appear to take on some characteristics of living beings, who need water to thrive.

These lovely opal earrings feature bright royal blue Boulder Opals with delicate flashes of green that you can see through the gemstone. Set in a stunning 14kt Gold Drop Setting including some one of a kind tanzanite gems to add a bit of extra sparkle to these magnifient hoop earrings.

The fire opal is one of the very few opal types that has a good transparency. The heart shaped fire opal that you see here is mined in Mexico. Kaisilver gemstone experts confirm that Mexico is the most desired source for fire opal gemstones.

 

There is no color enhancement treatment done on this gorgeous fire opal gem. The heart shape fire opal stone has a size of around 7.5mm to 8mm. Kaisilver can provide custom made Mexican fire opal gemstones in all shapes and sizes.

 

Choose the right source when shopping for gems and jewelry. We have seen dyed pieces of synthetic material being sold as fire opal. This at a gemstone shop in Bangkok Thailand.

 

Fire opals are available in a few shades of orange, they can be very pale orange leaning towards yellow or very deep orange with reddish color tones. The gemstone shown here is an orange fire opal gem that has been handcut to perfection. Fire opals get the word 'fire' in their name because of the flame (orange) color that is visible on the stone.

 

You might be interested to know that, Mexican fire opals are mined near the vicinity of dormant volcanoes. Kaisilver procures fire opals directly from the miners in Mexico - No chain of middlemen and no multiple brokerage fees.

 

You can email us at sales@kaisilver.com with all your gemstone and jewelry queries. You could order loose gemstones or go for our meticulously handcrafted custom jewelry in gold or silver. We place no restriction on gemstone selection, the design for all made to order jewelry, can be yours or ours.

Most opals are opaque or transluscent at best, the fire opal gemstone is an exception. Fire opals were first mined near the extinct volcanoes of Mexico. This opal looks like no other opal, it is uniformly colored, has no color flashes but boasts of a transparency that no other opal can.

 

The above image shows a color range for most fire opals. It is generally observed that, the more orange the color the higher the clarity.

 

Darker fire opal gems can border on a red color tone, the transparency gets a greasy as the gemstone moves to that color range.

 

Kaisilver gem experts narrate the fascinating origin of fire opal gemstones. Fire opal is a vibrant and captivating gemstone, known for its fiery orange, yellow, or reddish hues.

 

Unlike traditional opals, fire opals lack the characteristic play-of-color (flashes of rainbow colors) and instead are prized for their intense body color. They are formed from volcanic activity, with silica-rich water seeping into crevices and solidifying over time.

 

Kaisilver the leading high end custom jewelry provider, custom makes all types of jewelry in gold and silver. We place absolutely no restriction on gem and design selection. You could therefore order a ring or any other jewel, with fire opal or any other gemstone of your choice.

 

For those of you who believe in birthstones - opal along with tourmaline, happen to be the birthstones for the month of October. There is no specific type of opal that, is regarded as the October birthstone. You can therefore choose white or black opal, fire opal or even pink opal for your birthstone jewel.

 

Email Kaisilver at sales@kaisilver.com if you have any questions related to jewelry. We will be glad to help, without rushing you to make a purchase.
