Shows almost none of the milkyness otherwise quite typical for Brazilian fire opal. The high content of water (up to 20%!) in opal may cause problems. When opal gives off its water this can lead to haziness or the development of cracks. We bought this gem in 2015 and kept it try, so nothing of this should happen.
