Photographs were taken indoors under full spectrum lights and outdoors in natural sunlight while the pieces were both dry and then also wet for best visual display. Macro photography was also used while the stones were wet to best display the details of any visible fire. The colors seen within fire agates are created by the Schiller effect, as found in mother-of-pearl and opals. This effect is caused by the alternating silica and iron oxide layers which diffract and allow light to pass which forms the interference of colors known as fire. This play of color requires good lighting for the best color display and the stone will appear darker and brownish colored in lower light conditions.
