    I recently purchased this fascinating stone and would like to know
    whether it is natural or man made. It is vivid orange, usually, with
    brilliant flashes of purple, sometimes rippling across the face of
    what looks like an inclusion within the stone, at least in the one I
    have. The jewelry these stones are set in is most often labeled as
    vintage or antique, and the stone commonly has names such as mexican
    fire opal, jelly opal, or dragon's breath opal. I can't find any
    conclusive answers anywhere regarding it's actual composition.
    Anybody out there have any? Here is a link to photos of this stone:

Thanks!
