fire agate is very cool! but very expensive, i just bought a ring with a fire agate in it, it was $149. but i love it and i'm going back to buy all the fire agate rings they have when i get my paycheck next time. are things more important than buying all the fireagate i can get my hands on? probably. but i doubt it

DANGER, WILL ROBERTSON, DANGER, DANGER! Thats great you found something you love. Caution, though. How long are you going to love them and did you know you'll only get a fraction of your money back if you decide to resell them? I'm speaking up because I know how I am. If I SUDDENLY LOVE dragons, I'll go to ebay and buy up every single dragon I can find. But the practicallity of that decision will realisticly come back and bite me in the ash. Ask yourself if this decision based on you or based on one of the symptoms of AS?

thanks for yer concern buddy! i went through a simialr expericance awhile back with sapphire rough, i couldnt keep my hands off of it. usually i dont return or sell anything i buy. this ring just looks so good on me and they have another one (a little smaller) in size and price aswell, its only $99. thankfully i wont stress out if someone buys it before i get my paycheck, i use to worry about someone stealing something i wanted from under my nose before i could get my hands on it, so thats good i dont do that anymore. i was going to buy a computer for when i move out next month but i'm not going to do that anymore since i can just use the computer lab. so that means i have about $1500 to buy fire agate with :D
it could be worse though atleast i have some self control to only use my paychecks for the things i want.

I have some pieces of rough fire agate that werent t expensive.The cost comes in trying to cut them.They fracture easily and you have to do it just right to get the fire to show.They really are "magical" looking.I like opels for the same kind of fire(the nice ones any way),but fire agates with red tones are even prettier.My biggest problem with buying epensive things,especially small things,I always lose them and get pretty bummed about it.
