Fire White Opal (also known as the Australian Light Opal or Precious White Opal) is experiencing a massive resurgence. It has been dubbed the "Cloud Dancer" gem of the year—a title inspired by its ethereal, pearlescent base that shifts between warm ivory and cool moonlight.

Unlike the solid orange "Mexican Fire Opal," the Fire White Opal is defined by its milky, angelic background that hides a secret: a high-voltage "play-of-color" that looks like a trapped rainbow.
