Description from the seller

Fire agates were formed when hot water, saturated with silica and iron oxide, filled cracks and cavities in the surrounding rock and solidified into chalcedony layered with crystallized iron oxide
.
The vibrant iridescent rainbow colors found within fire agates are created by the Schiller effect, which is also found in mother-of-pearl. The brown color and iridescence of fire agates is due to inclusions of the iron oxides goethite or limonite.
