Cherry opal

Post by Purple star »

Hi. I have been looking for cherry opal but I can't find it anywhere. I did hear that it goes by the name of Mexican fire opal but it just doesn't look or feel right. I wondered if anyone had any ideas or knowledge about this. I don't know if this helps but I live in the uk. Thanks

I was looking at a couple of sites, it looks like it comes in many forms from clear red to opaque orange

I had not heard of this stone, and was wondering if fire agate gets passed off as this stone?
