The Crown Jewel: Natural Mexican Fire Opal (7.49 ct) – From the Vault of the Empress
Price: € 1.250,-
The Story Behind the Stone This captivating 7.49-carat specimen showcases the "White/Orange" translucency that made Mexican opals world-famous. Prior to 1980, Mexico stood as the world's sole and primary source for high-quality opals; this stone represents that original, prestigious standard of excellence. Part of the legendary private deadstock of Mia Verbeeck, the "Empress of the Vogelenmarkt," it has been kept in pristine condition within the family archive for nearly four decades. Today, it is available to the public for the very first time.
Double Guarantee of Authenticity
- Scientific Certification (ALGT): Report No. 97067465 identifies this as a Natural Fire Opal. Its ethereal glow is entirely organic, with no indications of treatment—ensuring its pure energy and long-term investment value.
- Heritage Certificate: Accompanied by the Babiche Bijoux Heritage Certificate, confirming its lineage as an original piece from the private estate of Mia Verbeeck.
From the Empress’s Notebook Mia Verbeeck meticulously recorded the subtle powers of the stones in her collection. Of stones with this specific clarity and hue, her handwritten records mention: "A stone of inner light; believed to calm the mind and provide the wearer with a sense of peace and clear intuition."
