Sell Price 350g

Fire Opal is a geode mineral from Magma Geodes and Omni Geodes. It is one of the more valuable minerals a Magma Geode can hold, behind Helvite but ahead of Bixite and Dolomite. Its first job is a museum donation, where every new mineral counts towards Gunther's rewards. In tailoring it makes the Purple Blouse, a named piece of clothing rather than a plain Shirt. The Wizard likes it, while almost everyone else in town dislikes it.

The in-game description reads: A rare variety of opal, named for its red spots.


Location

Fire Opal only comes from cracking geodes. Magma Geodes give the best chance, since their list of possible minerals is short. Omni Geodes can hold it as well, but they spread their odds across the minerals of every geode type.

Magma Geodes come from rocks between floors 81 and 119 of The Mines. Rocks from floor 21 down drop Omni Geodes, which are also common in the Skull Cavern. The Oasis has Omni Geodes for sale every Wednesday.

Clint at the Blacksmith opens each geode for 25g. A Geode Crusher does it at home once Clint's Cave Patrol special order has given the recipe. The odds stay the same on lucky and unlucky days.

Prices

Fire Opal sells for seven times the price of Baryte from the same geode. A single one covers the cost of cracking more than a dozen geodes at Clint. That price rises by thirty percent for a farmer with the Gemologist profession from Mining level 10.

A Crystalarium can copy Fire Opal in about three and a half days. That earns around 100g a day, close to an Amethyst in the same machine. Helvite does better among geode minerals, at about 130g a day. Diamonds stay ahead of both at about 150g.

Uses

Donating the first Fire Opal to Gunther adds it to the museum's mineral collection. Each new mineral counts towards his rewards. These start with furniture such as the Standing Geode and the Singing Stone. The Crystal Chair follows at 41 minerals and a Crystalarium at 50.

Putting Fire Opal and Cloth in the Sewing Machine makes the Purple Blouse. Fire Opal also works as a purple dye in the dye pots at Emily and Haley's house.

Gifts

The Wizard likes Fire Opal.

Clint, Gus, Marnie, Pierre, Robin and Willy all dislike Fire Opal. The Dwarf, Krobus and Sandy dislike it too, and so do Abigail, Alex, Elliott, Emily, Haley, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Penny, Sam, Sebastian and Shane. The older residents Caroline, Demetrius, Evelyn, George, Jodi, Kent, Lewis, Linus and Pam dislike it as well. Jas, Leo and Vincent also dislike it.

A cheaper geode mineral pleases the Wizard just as much, so Fire Opal is better sold than given away.

Notes

Fire Opal and Fire Quartz both come from Magma Geodes, but they are different items. Fire Quartz is a foraged mineral that also lies on the floor of the deep Mines, while Fire Opal only comes from geodes.
