Fire Agate Rough (All has FIRE)

Fire Agate Rough

Fire Agate Rough. This material was collected in 1975 and 1976 at Helen Madden's claim just west of Palo Verde, Imperial county Calif. I obtained close to 120 lbs and saw very little color in the agate. I put some promising pieces in a tumbler for about 3 days. All 55 pieces you see in the pictures has fire in them. I did not trim any of the pieces so a large piece may only have a small bit of fire. I have noticed on e-bay that rough brown chalcedony is called fire agate and my not have any fire. I will be happy to add extra pounds of chalcedony with the brown that might and might not have fire in it. This will fit in a Priority Mail Medium Flat Rate Box for $11.35 so I will be able to add the extra chalcedony. Moisture was added to the specimens to bring out some fire as all pieces need to be trimmed and polished.
