History and Uses
Also called Flame Agate, this crystal was thought to embody the essence of fire. Therefore, it was used extensively in the practice of alchemy. The flashes of fiery opalescent colour in this stone are caused by the layers of silica, limonite and iron which diffracts light. Traditionally, it was used to give confidence to shy and timid people, helping them to be heard and avoid being bullied.
Geological Description
Fire Agate is a type of Chalcedony formed during the volcanic Tertiary period when hot water saturated with silica and iron oxide seeped into cracks in rocks. It has a trigonal crystal structure and a hardness of 7. Excellent specimens come from north Mexico and south western USA.
