Crystal clear Mexican fire opal.
This is a Mexican Fire Opal, in a 5x8 Turk's Head bezel made with 18K yellow gold. I had it for a while, but none of my older pictures were worth posting on the site. Under pressure from an eager customer, I finally taught myself how to photograph opals to best advantage, or at least better than before, and this is the last picture I took before I shipped it to him.

Opal with five-lead eight-bight Turk's Head setting.

Sold.
