THE LEGACY

A Story Written inStone & Fire

In 1979, among the rugged terrain of Deer Creek, Arizona, prospector Wayne Penney made a discovery that would forever change the world of fire agates. What began as a small mining claim has evolved into the source of the world's most sought-after fire agates.

Each stone carries within it millions of years of geological history — layers of iron oxide and silica creating an iridescent display that captures light like captured flame.
