Earth-mined Mexican hyalite opal weighing 2.00ct ETW in a pear cut, featuring slightly included clarity, unheated character, and green fluorescence under ultraviolet light.

Hyalite opal is a transparent to translucent variety of common opal prized for its glass-like appearance and remarkable fluorescence. Under ordinary lighting, this gemstone appears nearly colorless, while exposure to suitable ultraviolet light produces an eye-catching green glow.

Unlike precious opal, which is celebrated for its rainbow-like play-of-color, hyalite is especially appreciated for its fluorescence. This effect is commonly associated with trace amounts of uranium incorporated into the mineral's structure.

Mexico is a recognized source of fluorescent hyalite opal, producing specimens sought after by mineral enthusiasts and collectors of UV-reactive gemstones.

At 2.00 carats and measuring 10.9 x 7.3 x 5.6 mm, this pear-cut gemstone offers attractive proportions for a collector's display or carefully designed pendant.

Opal has a Mohs hardness of approximately 5.5 to 6.5, making it more susceptible to scratches and impacts than many traditional jewelry gemstones. Gentle handling and protective settings are recommended.

This individual Mexican hyalite opal combines an elegant pear shape, natural unheated character, and fascinating green UV fluorescence in a distinctive collectible gemstone.
