fire agate rough material lots for sale

Excellent high quality fire agate rough recently brought from some down from some of the re-opened mines in Calvillo. These lots are averaged with different size specimens so everybody get large and small fire agate stones in their lots. All stones have fire, most have two or more colors of fire. All lots are handpicked and sorted for quality by our miners, you will not be disappointed, this is the best raw material you will find on a consistant basis on the web - experience is a must for cutting and polishing fire agate. Below you will find some Commercial Grade rough that is good for the lapidarist in training. We do not recommend the high grade rough to people just starting out with fire agate, you will lose alot of excellent fire layers in a matter of seconds. We do not accept returns for rough because you couldn't get any good pieces out of the lot you purchase. All lots will at least double your investment, if not quadruple it or more.

Excellent commercial grade rough (below), many golden specimen, green fire and some traces of multicolored fire. Alot of these stones show no visible fire, could be some great gems hidden within. The way a miner determines the quality of a given lot is too grab random stones out of each and 'break them' by making a rough cut and polish to view the quality of fire. Here are cracked and rough cut samples (right image) that determine fire agate lot grading - click on the image to view.

Most of the mines are still closed from the heavy rains of September 2007, some mines are blocked with boulders and filled with hardened mud. It will take months, if not years to get back to the pre-2007 fire agate mining status. We will be getting sporadic lots of rough as they become available.
