Thought to bestow courage, stamina, willpower and energy, Mexican fire opals are singular among the world’s opals for their bright and almost uniform color. Revered since pre-historic times as symbols of ardent love, the gem was believed to have been created in the waters of life. The most beautiful of these rare gems are found in Mexico, and in the Pre-Columbian era, the Mayans and Aztecs incorporated them into their most prized artworks and figurines.
