Quoth EQTraders.com...

Crushed flame agate obtained by combining 2 flame agates in a mortar & pestle.

Flame agate : drops off various goblins in Solusek A, ice giants in Everfrost, pandas in Stonebrunt, mobs in Mistmoore, house mobs in Unrest, various mobs in Lower Guk, aviaks in South Karana ... and many others.

Ok, it was edited by me, and I added the house mobs in Unrest part.
I've probably snagged 12 Flame Agates out of Unrest while leveling. I WISH I had kept them! (of course, I also wish I had been able to keep all those Black Wolf pelts from gfay while leveling...) As I recall, and this is only out of fuzzy memory, the flame agates came mostly from second floor mobs. Sometimes I find them on vendors (esp POK vendors) for around 9p-change with 82 cha. 75 cha will cause the price to be 10 or 11p.

Since it's a mortar and pestle, i'm going to guess it's a no-fail combine, like the Celestial Essences. Let yourself be warned that this is only a guess, I have not tried this yet. (I even bought LoY, and I STILL don't have any bank space! I tradeskill entirely too much.)

Thanks.

I've found a few on vendors in the Bazaar, but I've not tried crushing them yet - or any other type of gem for that matter so I wasn't sure if there was any other skill check involved or not.
Guess it's time to just suck it and see.

hm, well, i bought two and tried it today. not sure what skill it checks, but it gave me the trivial message and succeeded. /shrug.

As far as I know, crushing gems is a nofail combine (like silk swatches, which also does a skill check andyou can actually skill 0-15 on these).

I have no skill that allows me to use a mortar and pestle, and yet I have never failed at either gem crushing or making celestial essence.

Thank God for my collapsed mortar and pestle, though.

I got a fair number of them in SolA camping for my epic. Didn't know what they were for so I sold them. I believe I also saw some in SolB off the Kobolds.
