While trimming the chalcedony away on a piece of rough fire agate I accidently cut through a couple of the botryoidal fire bubbles. Usually this would be the end of it and the fire agate would lay ruined. But I saw that I could take the opportunity to create something unique and beautiful. I really like the movement of the fire. It follows you around. Click the photo to see the video 20201016_163628 by CHRISTOPHER LESSO, on Flickr

Nice set. So it looks like you made the doublets by fronting with something like optical quartz? I guess that would solve the undercutting of the matrix issues. Yes I used a quartz cap for them. Not only did it solve the undercutting problem it also magnified the pattern a little

Beautifully done. Did you consider slicing it at the constriction and cutting two smaller stones? No I didn't. I usually try for the largest aesthetically pleasing stone

That’s a cool piece I like how there are green bands going through the purple mountains and bubbles in the lower left. Fire agates are definitely a time consuming stone to finish but the rewards are well worth the efforts in the end Apparently I don’t have the patience it takes to finish a stone. Are the purples, reds rare or uncommon colors in fire agate. I have a couple stones with gold colors I need to work on someday one of them is almost metallic gold in color Purple, blues and true red are indeed uncommon colors

Mix rough, slabs and trims. Picture jasper, turitella, obsidain, rhodnite, rainbow ledge, green tree moss agate, crazy lace, Brazilian agate, Palmroot, Dumortierite, shell and various agates and jasper. I will randomly fill a Medium Flat Rate box with approximately 15 to 18 lbs for $45 + shipping. Any takers? I can probably make four boxes.
