<p>[QUOTE=&quot;aaroncab, post: 422597, member: 3974&quot;]This piece was my mother&#039;s, unfortunately i didn&#039;t get to ask her where she got it. She has several other pieces(sterling rings with agate cabochons) that I know were made by my father&#039;s father(my grandfather) back in the 40&#039;s 50&#039;s, but I&#039;m not sure about this one. I don&#039;t know if he would have been able to get a big piece of fire opal like this up in northern California.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s only marked &quot;sterling&quot;. I&#039;m assuming if the ring itself was mexican, it would be marked with a mexican mark, not just &quot;sterling&quot;. It does look like mexican fire opal to me though. The cabochon is 1 inch (2.5cm) long .3 inches(.8cm) wide. </p><p><br /></p><p>Opinions - this is fire opal yes? It has fire play in it at certain angles but not at others, mostly blue but a hint of green now and then. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for looking!</p><p><br /></p><p>Aaron</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]147635[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]147636[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]147637[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]147638[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]147639[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]147640[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]147641[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]147642[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]147643[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
