Mexican Opal, also known as Dragon’s Breath, is a collector’s nickname for man-made stones that are made of glass and mixed with certain metals to produce a brilliant color shifting effect. Colors shift from a deep to bright red with flashes of electric blue and even purples. The flashes of color from within the stone are known as the "breath" from which the name is derived. Mexican Opals were first used in jewelry in the early 1900’s to simulate fire/jelly opals. Highly collectible and rare – this lovely stone is a certain conversation piece and will become a cherished favorite.
