Sonoran Dave Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) A couple of pics of some fire agate we have been finding. Come back with a gold pan full every time we go out there.There is some good fire in quite a few of these pieces. Hard to see without cleaning them up. Will work on that Edited January 5, 2015 by ArcticDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonoran Dave Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Trying to hold a flaslight in one hand and take a pic with the other! This the best I can do at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonoran Dave Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Thanks El D.This is just all stuff we found lying on the ground. It only occurs on one low hill. Need to do some trenching across the hilltop and see if I can locate a seam. Good chance it has all eroded away and all that is left...is float. Don't know unless you try!

Caliche Chris Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 That stuff is cool. I have been keeping an eye out for it here too. There's a bunch of bubbly looking stuff I find(chalcedony? I'm not sure...) but its just white or clear, it doesn't have the brassy, metallic fire on it. That's awesome you find a spot where it's abundant.

Sonoran Dave Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Yeah probably Chalcedony man, but if you're finding that, fire agate may be close. NM has fire agate as well...keep your eyes open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
