Discovered so recently as 1939, fire agate still remains a little-known gemstone found only in North America. Fire agate is our recommended alternative to opal due to its often-mesmerizing iridescent quality and superior durability.

Our collection of loose cabochons currently featured below come directly from mines located in Northern Mexico; other locations known for producing gem grade fire agate include Arizona and California.

Any loose stone that you find can be crafted into a piece of custom jewelry—and due to fire agate's exceptional durability, it is a safe stone for jewelers of all skill levels to work with.
