Fire Agate gets its name from the iridescent, flame-like shimmer trapped within its layered bands — a natural light play formed as thin sheets of hematite crystallized inside chalcedony. Traditionally linked to the root and sacral chakras, it's carried as a stone of grounded courage.
Worn close to the skin, it's carried for:
- Building courage and standing firm under pressure
- Grounding scattered or anxious energy
- Reigniting motivation and creative drive
- Shielding against negativity while staying warmly engaged with others
Fire Agate pairs beautifully with Black Tourmaline for a grounded, balancing stack.
