"This is a very unusual form of chalcedony or the quartz family, known as agates. FIRE AGATE is in the Quartz/Agate group. Usually a rusty-brownish color, with fire bubbles that are visible after cutting and polishing. The iridescent colors of the fire bubbles are caused by thin layers of iron oxide crystals. Fire Agate is found in the arid regions of Mexico and southwestern U.S.A. This particular type is unlike anything else in the gemstone world because looking into a nice fire agate makes you feel like you are looking deep into a burning ember. Beautiful stones containing all the colors of the sunset arrayed in various irregular patterns and bands, this agate usually has inclusions of Goethite or Limonite which cause the stones to be iridescent.

In the metaphysical community, Fire Agate is said to represent the spiritual flame of perfection! "
