Sterling/14k/Fire Agate

Cuff bracelets should sit comfortably on your wrist without any turning or need for clamping. Do NOT open and close the bracelet. Rolling the bracelet on and off using the soft underside of your wrist 1" above the wrist bone will keep it from stressing or damaging it. If the bracelet is too small or too large, we can custom make one to fit you properly.

FIRE AGATE:

Fire agate is a type of chalcedony that shows bright, rainbow-like flashes. It is found only in parts of Mexico and the southwestern U.S. (New Mexico, Arizona, California). Despite its name, it isn’t a true agate because it usually lacks bands. Around 24-36 million years ago, volcanic activity in these areas caused hot water with silica and iron oxide to fill cracks in rocks, forming fire agate. Its shiny colors, like opal, come from the Schiller effect, caused by iron oxide minerals like goethite or limonite. Fire agate is fairly hard (6.5-7 on the Mohs scale), making it less likely to scratch when used in jewelry.
