  • Fire agates are an amazing gemstone. Beautiful colors in the "Fire" ‪@ThatCampingCouple‬ took me out on an adventure deep in the Arizona desert looking for the beautiful Fire Agates the area is known for. And I was not disappointed.

    Dan....would you spend an episode with discussions/pics/vids of the various "day-use mines" around the country? Like the diamond mining episode in Ark.
    Just a quick "Dan's top 20 Places to take your kids to dig" for various gems for a few hours.

    I grew up in Arizona exploring the desert. I go back every summer during my vacation and explore my favorite fire agate, turquoise, and petrified wood spots out in the middle of nowhere. I absolutely love the Arizona desert and all the treasures it holds.

  • @robertglesener

    I loved sunrise or sunset to find them after a good rain. You see white everywhere and as the sun rises or sets they start glowing red. Neat little trick.

    Heck yeah, Dan!!! 🤘 I found my first piece of fire agate on a Globe camping trip. It was a brisk morning, and I was using the outdoor restroom, squatting as most do, when I saw a curious rock right in front of me. Thank goodness it was NOT behind me... 🤣

    Dan - the US Postal Service has a "Priority Mail Flat Rate" service with three sizes of boxes. You can stuff whatever will fit inside the box and ship it anywhere in the US for a flat rate, up to 70 lbs / 32 kg per box. Costs about USD 21 for the large box. I've used it to ship heavy wood turning blocks back home from Hawaii. So if you have a friend just over the border in the States, you can ship as much as you want there and drive over to pick it up. Just be sure to use reinforced packing tape to wrap the box around all sides and especially the corners. Ask me how I know this.

    Hey Dan, not sure what part of AZ you're in but I spent a bit of time crossing the nation, and when I was in AZ , I found a ton of that stuff.
    The most beautiful ones ,to me, had burgundy so dark it was almost purple and the fire part was what I'd call orangy. You made me go pull a piece out lol 😉
    Soooo... Yeah,I was around Sedona when I kept finding that stuff .
