Fire Agate Ring 13

Description

This is an amazing piece of fire agate with a lot of color.  Jake finds his fire agate in the mountains of eastern Arizona and western New Mexico, but also buys some raw stones from time to time.  Fire agate is very challenging to cut as it must be done with a hand tool and takes many hours of work for each stone.  As with opal, if you cut just a bit too much you lose the fire in the stone.  This ring is set in sterling silver with a fancy silver bail and a twisted copper wire accent surrounding the bezel.  The ring shank is thick half round sterling wire, and the ring size is 7 and a half.
