Fire Agate Pendant 11

Description

Here is a different kind of stone.  It’s a fire agate that Jake found out in Arizona, and it’s covered with tiny points of fire.  Fire agates are very rare and are considered a “precious” gemstone.  They are extremely hard to work on as the fire in them can be at different levels in the stone, so they need to be carved and polished with a hand tool.  Some fire agates can take days to cut and polish.  This one has some uneven surface areas, but is a little more uniform than many other fire agates.  It is set using sterling silver square wire framing the back with prongs to hold the stone in place.  Jake used a round copper ring as a bail for a little different look.
