It is known well that the state of Querétaro is the pioneering opal cradle and mining area of Mexico. In this region the opal deposits are located mainly in the mountain ranges of three municipalities: Columbus, Tequisquiapan and Ezequiel Montes. Most of the gems you see here are from the mines of La Trinidad in Tequisquiapan. During 1965 through 1975 the Queretaro mines were heavily mined and if you ask opal miners from back then they will tell you it was much easier to find quality opals with alot of fire and play of color, where as today the gem quality opals are very hard to come by and command hundreds of US dollars or more.
