    Thanks for the great picture. This is a glass cabochon. Sometimes
    they put gold leaf or some type of foil in the glass. Other times
    they use a glass with an opal type look. The picture does not look
    like Fire opal or Jelly opal. You can have it tested for sure but
    the picture is great and does not indicate opal of any kind. I have
    seen this material many times before and even did some testing on it
    when I went to GIA. 

    I hope this helps. If you have any further questions please feel
    free to contact our technical support department. 

Best regards,
Phillip Scott G.G.
