Visit My Favorite Opal / Stones Jewelry Store
This is my go- to store for all of my stone jewelry shopping, especially the famous Mexican fire opal. Mexican fire opal is from Mexico, with major deposits in states like Querétaro, Hidalgo, and Guerrero, making it Mexico's national gem. What Makes It Special? Its distinct, fiery body color and transparency are unique among opals, unlike the milky appearance of common opals.
Templo de Santa Rosa de Viterbo
The Temple of Santa Rosa de Viterbo itself is a baroque wonder. Step inside the golden altarpiece that conceals the entrance to the museum, and you'll realize its interior is filled with even more baroque treasures.
