Hmm. Not sure your ID is correct on this one.
I looked up your spelling, and Hyalith as well. Girasol is listed as:
"Girasol - an opal with flaming orange and yellow and red colors" in the only location I can find that doesn't involve a town in Italy.
All the references for Hyalith are for a type of glass:
"Trade name for a kind of opaque glass made from 1820 onwards at several glasshouses in Bohemia owned by Count von Buquoy. There were two varieties: a dark sealing-wax red , imitating Wedgwood's rosso antico; and black, imitating Wedgwood's basaltes ware."

This could be a type of crystal opal, but I think someone misidentified it. There's a lot of that going around in the gemstone sales world.
