Fired Agate, also known as Crab Agate, is a vibrant form of agate that has been heat-treated to create a distinctive “snakeskin” crackle effect. The controlled heating process reveals fiery colours and intricate patterns across the surface, giving each polished tumble stone a unique and striking look. Unlike natural Fire Agate, Fired Agate (Crab Agate) is created through this enhancement process, making it both accessible and visually appealing for collectors.
