Fire Agate/aqeeq:

Fire agate, a semi-precious natural gemstone, occurs only in certain areas of central and northern Mexico and the southwestern United States (New Mexico, Arizona, and California). Approximately 24-36 million years ago, massive volcanic activity during the Tertiary Period affected these areas. This volcanism formed fire agates when hot water, saturated with silica and iron oxide, repeatedly filled cracks and bubbles in the surrounding rock.

Fire agates have beautiful iridescent rainbow colors, similar to opal. The alternating silica and iron oxide layers in fire agates create vibrant iridescent rainbow colors. These layers diffract light, allowing it to pass through and form an interference of colors within the stone’s microstructure. This phenomenon, known as the Schiller effect, is similar to that found in mother-of-pearl and is responsible for the fire effect that gives fire agates their name.

Additionally, Agate (/ˈæɡɪt/ AG-it) is the banded variety of chalcedony. Moreover, it comes in a wide variety of colors. Furthermore, Agates are primarily formed within volcanic and metamorphic rocks. In addition, the ornamental use of agate was common in Ancient Greece, in assorted jewelry and in the seal stones of Greek warriors. Besides, bead necklaces with pierced and polished agate date back to the 3rd millennium BCE in the Indus Valley civilization.
Distinctive banding patterns, which can appear in concentric circles, waves, or chaotic swirls, distinguish agates.. These patterns result from the slow accumulation of silica layers over millions of years. Additionally, Agates come in a vast spectrum of colors, including shades of blue, red, green, yellow, and brown. Moreover, some agates even feature multiple colors within the same stone.
