    Yep, its real...and natural....Mexican opal is just a different
    variety of opal. I have seen opaque yellow and semi-transparent blue
    opals with no fire at all. They are still opals. The blue ones are
    really cool. If you stick them in a glass of water overnight, they
    become almost completely translucent. Doesn't last though.Opals have
    a wide range think Chinese vs boulder vs yowah.
