2.24ct Honey-Amber Oregon Fire Opal

This Oregon Fire Opal is a "flatback" or "rosette" but this cut really makes the most of the stone. It throws amber and gold opalescence with its "lens cut" and would look great in a design where you can see the pattern of the metal behind it bending as a result of this faceting design. The weight is 5.84ct, and the size is a huge 16.2x10.7mm. It would be perfect in a large pendant, perhaps with a halo of stones in a color that compliments the amber color, such as imperial topaz, citrine or even ametrine to shake the color up a bit. Whatever you choose, this stone is sure to be an attention grabber.

This honey golden colored Oregon Fire Opal is one sweet gemstone. Measuring 7mm and weighing .94ct, it's big enough to be the centerpiece of a solitaire ring or to be part of a larger project like a pendant or brooch.
