Crab Fire Agate has become one of the most popular types of Agates to be used in fashion jewelry. A unique variant of Agates, Crab Fire Agate resembles a crabs shell cracked into numerous pieces and lit with a glowing light from deep within. This particular variety of Crab Fire Agate has a cracked top layer in colors ranging from white to carnelian red and band formations resembling clouds. All agates are formed in the air pockets trapped in rapidly cooling lava. During the cooling process, silica-bearing water and alkali enter the cavities in the rock and form a gel; the alkali interacts with the iron in the host rock and causes formation of iron hydroxide bands. Once crystallized, only the bands remain with their shape and color intact. Crab Fire Agates are formed by subjecting naturally formed Agates to heat treatments to enhance the colors and create the cracked surfaces.

Agate is often associated with love, strength, courage, healing, protection, and longevity. Perhaps, this was the reason ancient times saw the use of Agate as an amulet or talisman. As a healing stone, Agate is believed to protect from fever, quench thirst, and cure insomnia. While there are some who buy Agate jewelry just for good luck, others fall for the inner glow of these pendants and advantage from its powers as well.
