Fire Agate

Fire Agate is a variety of Chalcedony, a mineral of the Quartz family. Fire Agate was used in alchemy because it was believed to contain the essence of fire. 
In many traditions sacred to fire deities, it encouraged timid adults and shy children to speak up and not be ignored or bullied. It is a stone of integrity, encouraging high standards of behaviour in self and others, and promotes passion in love and in life.
 
It has been said that Fire Agate protects home and family if placed on an outside sill. In the workplace, it is a crystal of ambitionand high achievement.
