🔥 This stunning gemstone possesses rare beauty that is impossible to find easily in the market. The fabled and legendary hot pink fire opal 💎 is an extremely rare and elusive natural wonder that is hardly seen by miners, collectors, and sellers. 🕵️♀️ It is believed that it could be many decades before another such gemstone is discovered. These fire opals are found in ancient and extinct volcanoes throughout Mexico 🌋, and this particular piece was discovered in the region of Chihuahua.
Apart from its unusual purplish hot pink hue, this volcanic opal is rare due to its multi-play of rainbow colors 🌈, a rare trait exhibited by Mexican fire opals. On the brightness scale 💡, this natural gemstone scores an exceptional 5/5 index mark, indicating its impeccable quality. Another distinctive aspect of this fire opal is the white volcanic rock that forms its matrix. It is estimated that this volcanic rock is around 500 million years old 🕰️.
Most fire opals typically display a dark or light brown matrix, making this gemstone an exceptionally rare find that is hard to come by. This stone was discovered after years of searching by the seller, who finally found it during a luxurious trip to China 🇨🇳. Fifteen years ago, the seller purchased this gemstone at auction in Zhejiang Province, and it has remained a part of their collection ever since. 🤩
