I know it is one of the least prospected minerals in the USA, and world as far as that goes. It is one of the hardest stones to cut and grind successfully than any other type of agate. I know from experience that it is much easier to mine than gold, as the reclamation permits for a gold mine in this age are all but impossible to get.
I know after working for different Mining companies that it cost millions just to get all of the permits before you ever break ground on a new Gold mine. Where as a Fire Agate mine is in no way bad for the environment and it is very easy to acquire a mining permit for a Fire Agate mine.
There are not many mines in Arizona that I know of except on the Indian reservation near Peridot, Arizona. They will not allow mining on the reservation, except by the Indians and the chief will not allow machinery on their land.
