Fire Agate Stone Gemstone Cabochon

Gorgeous Fire Agate from Deer Creek, Arizona!

This lovely cabochon is cut into a freeform sculpted shape, with the creative jeweler in mind. It is 19.3 mm long by 8.9 mm at its widest and about 4.5 mm thick.

Fire Agate is a layered stone. The layers are small enough that light entering them forms interference colors known as "fire." It is thought to be formed when hot water saturated with silica and iron oxide invaded cavities in the rock and began to cool. Chalcedony then began to grow on any available surface (the iron oxide gives the basic brown color to the gem). As the rock grew, layers of silica and iron oxide would be deposited depending on the level of those elements in the mix and other conditions. These alternating silica and iron oxide layers (Schiller layers) cause the brilliant fire in the gem. As iron oxide ran out in the mix white chalcedony continued to grow, this forms the white caps on some of these stones.

Metaphysical Properties: Fire Agate is said to awaken ones senses, and increases the pleasure one takes in life.
