Wheels are really getting bad. It took for ever and a day to complete these. This is my first fire agate. Its a lot harder then the opals due to the hardness scale. Also it is tough to show fire with a photo. This will be it for awhile, I have to go back to being responsible again. Here are the pics:

And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take...
