Fee Dig Info and Rules at
Cuesta Fire Agate Mine
If your unfamiliar with Fire Agate Don will tell you the story of how Fire Agate was formed many many years ago, and give you a tour around his place showing you tables of Fire Agate and some of the samples of other rocks and Gems he has acquired over the years. Don will take you up to the Claim , show you where to dig and is very helpful in giving you assistance in how to find, locate and dig the Fire Agate out and off the Host Rock, which is mostly Rhyolite. Fire Agate is hiding on the host rock and you will have to work for it. Unfortunately it won't jump up and into your pocket. When you remove some overburden you may find a piece of Fire Agate hiding on a piece of host rock
. Remember to bring the tools required to find and remove your new finds. Basic tools required to find your Fire Agate are Hammer -10lb,3lb,Chisels, Screw Driver or small pick, Brush,Gloves, Hat,Bucket, Water for both Drinking and spraying the rock. Digging is hard work so expect it have a few soar muscles the next day. Finding only a couple pieces make the day and trip worth while. Prospecting new area's within the claims has proven to be fruitful where Gem Quality Fire Agate is being located along with Chalcedony (Desert) Roses and Druse Crystal Clusters.
