I bought two Fire Agates off of ebay.
« on: October 20, 2010, 04:28:33 PM »
I received these shortly before leaving for San Diego and did not have time to post them then. The larger one is 9.1 carats and the little one is 3.15 carats. I need more practice @ close up pics. Thank you Richard for the link to the ebay seller, he was very prompt with shipping. I am not likely to get lots more of these but I think I will likely get a 40 to 60 carat one at some point.





Here they are next to my Whale bone amulet that I got in New Zealand.

Thanks Callaway and Richard. Yes, I do like them Richard and I am happy that I used the link you gave me to get them. Because I need to travel and I am giving up buying new guns I don't plan on getting as fanatical as you are about them Richard but I will get one more big one @ 40 + carats if they don't get ungodly expensive @ that size.

Fuck, that is a good sized Fire Agate. What is the approximate price range @ 40 to 60 carats? Do they get much harder to find @ that size?

Well, yes anything in top gem quality over 25 cts is extremely rare. you can buy a clunker with no color at 35 cts for a few hundred dollars. but typically the larger, (and more colors you have your going to pay more) some fire agate can sell for $500 a ct. if its, what they call imperial grade

Wendell, usually has semi-good deals on the larger guys

In that case I may end up getting a 20 to 25 carat one. I must travel to France and eventually to Australia and Indonesia.
