Here are two of my fire agates. The first I want to cut in the middle where that bend is. After cutting I will polish the two pieces and make them into pendants for necklaces.

How big is the green flash in this piece? That may be the nicest fire agate I have ever seen, and I looked at 100's of pounds in Q last January.  |

How big is the entire piece? .5mm is very small. Nevertheless, it is a tiny treasure.
Are you able to make the other piece bigger? These are hard to see small.

Hi folks,
I signed on with photobucket. I'm reposting the photos to their original size.
Yeah Dave, it is small I took my cm ruler and it measures 2 cm. I think I will keep it for a pendent for myself but I'm not to sure if I should wire-wrap it or make a bracelet.

I'm guessing you meanmeant 5mm for the area of color on the piece I referenced.
Still less than 1/4".
