Oregon Fire Opal was born in fire, in the ancient volcanoes of Oregon in the USA. Fire opal forms when water seeps into silica-rich lava, filling seams and hollows. Under heat and pressure, the silica forms a solid gel, trapping the remaining water within its structure. Seams of fire opal are found within the remains of these ancient flows. The piece you see is the actual piece you will be buying and enjoying.
