The dramatic coloration comes from high concentrations of iron oxide (hematite) and manganese oxide deposited in volcanic host rock. The name \"Fighting Blood\" refers to the fierce, fiery appearance of the banding — swirling reds and blacks that resemble flames or flowing lava. These agates formed in gas cavities within ancient basalt flows, where silica-rich fluids slowly deposited layer after layer of chalcedony over millions of years. The most valuable specimens display high color saturation, sharp contrast between bands, and complex swirling patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"collapsible-section\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDetails\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone: Fighting Blood Agate (chalcedony, SiO₂)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm: Matched pair — split nodule with polished faces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Hebei Province, China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Vivid red, orange, amber, black banding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes both halves — sold as a pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne of a kind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"collapsible-section\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eExplore More\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/collectors-edition\"\u003eCollector's Edition\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/new-arrivals\"\u003eNew Arrivals\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Avant","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":53725546938657,"sku":"AVANT-FBA-PAIR","price":585.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0252\/6845\/3410\/files\/fighting_blood_agate--7396.jpg?v=1792039251","url":"https:\/\/www.crystals.com\/products\/fighting-blood-agate-matched-pair-hebei-china","provider":"CRYSTALS.COM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
