My wife swears she was told that the second one is fire agate but I disagree. The other I have no idea. Any suggestions on either or both? That's "Flame agate" (Mexico, I believe—different than "Fire agate" but an understandable confusion).

Yes flame agate. That is funny - too many names. Personally I like flame agate much better than fire agate. And that one is a real beauty!

You can show her Christopher's fire agates for comparison. Before cutting they will be bubbly chalcedony and brown. Very nice flame agate.

Tell her that it's an excellent, outstanding example of flame agate. That will ease the (your) pain.

That is a beautiful flame agate. Back it with some white howlite and it'd make a stunning cab.
