Fire Agate is a rare variety of layered chalcedony quartz which exhibits a fiery iridescent effect. It is a natural gemstone discovered so far only in certain areas of central and northern Mexico and the southwestern United States (New Mexico, Arizona and California).
Approximately 24-36 million years ago, these areas were subject to massive volcanic activity. The fire agates were formed during this period of volcanism when hot water, saturated with silica and iron oxide, repeatedly filled cracks and bubbles in the surrounding rock.
Fire Agate has a translucent deep reddish-brown base, with flashes of orange, red, green and gold that appear as living flames within the gem. Known as the Schiller effect, its iridescent colors are caused by light interference on thin alternating layers of silica and iron oxide or limonite crystals within the Chalcedony.
