Fire agate! My true love. It's just gorgeous. I really need to reset mine. I was offered $300 for it but can't give it up. However, it needs a nicer home. It's amazing what these go for, considering I find mine on the ground nearby... Thanks for the show and tell.

A bit tricky to see with the shine, but what a shine! And enough seen to hint at a great rock. And I thought you weren't into ovals - or bezels?!

Bet that one is a light bender on a video. Real nice finish polish style. petrified whiskey w/a shot of LSD, fire agate is something else.

I've progressed a couple of FA, but they're still WIP; in fact a couple just need a shine. A shine like this wouldn't go amiss. Dave, what do you finish these with? I probably have less experience of FA. My point was really that if this (high quality) output are two of Dave's weak areas, then we're in deep trouble! A veiled English compliment for those still in doubt.

A veiled English compliment for those still in doubt. this one is a cab so I took it up to 15,000 then a proprietary mix of oxides to achieve the shine.just kidding a dash of aluminum and tin oxide on a leather buff. As far as the bubbly ones go,custom made wooden burrs charged with diamond paste.and thank you metalsmith Dave

Back to the 60's expression of "Totally Rad Dude!". FA is awesome stuff when done right and you nailed that one!

Dave, can you make a YouTube video of the stone?
If any fire agate will change my mind, yours might.
