Description:
A rock crystal, amber and Mexican fire opal necklace, the necklace composed of a strand of alternating rock crystal and amber beads, centring a large triangular-shaped Mexican fire opal pendant, weighing approximately 41.50 carats, gross weight approximately 83.50 grams, the clasp mounted in 18ct white gold, length 42.00 cm. Mexican fire opals can be found all over the world, but most come from Mexico, in their highlands in areas with extinct volcanoes. These gems are distinguished by their beautiful colour, often slightly cloudy, but with expressive tones reminiscent of fire, earth and sunlight., Cf. A. Quan, Tony White: Jeweller, New South Wales, Tony White, 2016, p. 95 for necklace of similar design, and p. 60 for text.
