MEXICAN 0PALS IN DEMAND
Even With Primitive Methods, Our
Southern Neighbors Dig Beautiful
Stones From Their Mines.

The QueretarO district is the chief
source Of supply OF Mexican opals. All
the mines are owned by MeMcans. No
foreign capital is invested. Old-fash-
ioned methods of mining are employed
and activity is desutory. If prices
are good, work becomes feverish. If
prices drop off, few opals are mined.
Most of the best quality stones go to
Mexico City. Dealers there market
them in other countries. The poorer
grades are sold in little shops through
out Mexico or are peddled to tourists
at railway stations. Thousands Of
these cheap opals are sold in towns
along the border in the United States.
They can be bought for from 80 cents
up.
1t is this cheap grade of stones that
has given Mexican opals a poor repu-
tation among iewelry buyers. The
fact is, fine Mexican opal is beau
tiful gem. 1t differs from Australian
Opals in that the latter are usually
Opaque to transmit light, whereas Mex
lean opals are usually clear. TO bl@lg
out the soft play of colors in Mexi-
can stone, artificial backs are often
used in setting the gems. Many are
backed with their own genuine matrix
The better class of Mexican opals is
not so expensive as the Australian or
those imported from the famous mines
of Australia, but they fare far from
cheap.
