Catalogue Essay
For the Romans, opal was the most precious of all the gemstones because it unified the beauty of all gems known to men. Opals were also thought to fall from the sky during thunderstorms, trapping all the marvellous colours of a lightning inside them. Fire opal belongs to the same family of opal and is distinguished by a transparent to translucent, uniform red, orange or yellow body colour. When play-of-colour is present like this very one on offer, it resembles a vivacious blazing flame.
