Est. 1979 | A Legacy of Fire Agate Mining
Since 1979, the Deer Creek claim has been a source of some of the world's finest fire agates. Nestled in the rugged terrain of the American Southwest, our family-operated mine has produced exceptional specimens that showcase nature's artistry.
What started as a passion for geology and gemstones has evolved into a legacy spanning over four decades of responsible mining and dedication to preserving these natural treasures.
Fire agate is one of nature's most spectacular phenomena. Formed over millions of years through volcanic activity, these gemstones display an iridescent play of color that rivals the finest opals. Each stone is unique, with patterns and colors that cannot be replicated.
The Deer Creek claim is known for producing fire agates with exceptional clarity, vibrant colors, and dramatic patterns that collectors and gem enthusiasts seek worldwide.
Every fire agate from Deer Creek is hand-mined with care and respect for the land. We use traditional mining methods combined with modern tools to carefully extract these precious stones from their ancient volcanic beds.
Our commitment to quality means that each piece is personally inspected and selected. We take pride in offering only the finest specimens that showcase the true beauty of Deer Creek fire agate.
As stewards of this remarkable claim, we're committed to preserving both the land and the tradition of fire agate mining for future generations. Each stone that leaves our mine carries with it the story of Deer Creek – a story of natural beauty, dedication, and respect for the earth's treasures.
