Everything You Need To Know About Fire Agate
External Beauty can be quite deceiving the same,
however, cannot be said for gemstones. While
being beautiful and incredibly hypnotic,
gemstones have held value, both spiritual and
monetary, for humanity since the dawn of
civilization. The Fire Agate is one such gemstone.
To know about this amazing gemstone in detail,
keep reading. Genesis Millions of years ago,
during the tertiary period when hot lava spewed
from the earth's crust. These rocks were formed
due to increased volcanic activity. This stone
was formed when the hot water rich in silica
filled the cracks in the volcanic rock. These
rocks come in vibrant rainbow colors and bear
semblance to opal. Light diffraction through the
rock's crystal lattice results in the schiller's
effect, which leads to the fiery colors that the
stones come in, hence the name 'Fire Agate.' Fire
agates belong to the chalcedony family, distant
relatives of the quartz. While there are numerous
types of chalcedonies, The Fire Agate stands out
due to its mesmerizing colors.

light, so that bright hues of red, orange, and
yellow illuminate the entire stone as if
symbolizing a burning flame. Fire Agate is found
in parts of North America and Mexico. The Fire
Agate, as the name suggests, is representative of
the fire element. Significance This stone
signifies the property of rebirth. Fire is

provide some dominion over the heart. This
stone, often called 'The Stone of Eternal Youth,'
is said to alleviate sexual dysfunction and
boost an individual's romantic life. Prices and
Rarity Just as diamonds, the Fire Agate prices
differ with the shapes they are cut in rather
than the material's rarity. However, the Agates
with brighter distinctive colors, more often than
not, go for a premium. A generic fire agate
usually goes for about 75 to 100, which
speaking in terms of gemstones, isn't much.

brighter colors will cost you a lot
higher. Conclusion Doing your research before
buying gemstones, especially agates, can help you
get duped or have negative consequences of
buying an incorrect gem that doesn't suit them.
Always buy stones that speak to you personally
and the natures that conform with your
personality.
