rockhunter Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I can't be sure ,but it looks like a fire agate . They usually have ,in geode form a chrystaline center. If yours has a bubbly top. or as you hold the stone . opposite the clear portion Then it most likely is a fire agate. and if you carve the bubbles very carefully you can bring out the fire colors. I hope this helped rock hunter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naomi Oliver Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hi Velin, I also agree with others suggestion, as it does look like agate, or jasper. Its been my sole research purpose since I joined my local lapidary club, and my brother gave me our 30 year old tumbler, and bags of raw agates and jaspers, from the north western area of Australia. Lovely to see your stone, let us know how you end up using this material . have a good evening . Naomi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopacki Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 From the looks of the cleavage on the stone I would have to say its common Opal, take a piece of known agate and see if it will scratch this stone, if so I'd bet its Opal. Regarding the comment that its fire agate, with out a doubt it is not fire agate, I just posted comments regarding fire agate and posted images of rough fire agate in the new work show and tell section, check it out and I am sure you will agree its not fire agate. All my best ............... Danny I have attached an image of a fire agate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
