Mexican Opals are quite different to Australian Opals. They display their best colourplay under strong artificial lighting or natural sunlight, under which conditions their beauty is unrivalled. For these reasons, Mexican Opal prices can go up in the summer months! High grade Mexican Opal can show good colourplay in lower lighting conditions. Cabs show their colour best when black backed.

The pictures, unless otherwise specified, are taken under artificial lighting and the stone will generally look better than the photo in natural sunlight. I will try to describe how representative the photograph is of the stone’s appearance on each listing so please read the listing fully before you bid. The photographs can vary considerably with respect to the actual appearance of the stone.

I have saved the best for last and probably will not list much more. Many thanks to all.
