    What is something small to represent fire?

    I'm making a spell jar and I want to put something in to represent fire, but I'm having a hard time figuring out something that would be small enough to put in the jar (its a little bigger than a golf ball). Any ideas?

    Piece of charcoal, small chunk of sulfur, some chili powder, black pepper...lots of things...

      My mind first went to volcanic rocks, if you can get them. Anything that reminds you of fire would work really.

        .99 cent lighter would be around that size.

        From Britain's shore
        Wolfe the dauntless hero came
        And planted firm Britannia's flag
        On Canada's fair domain.
        Here may it wave,
        Our boast, our pride
        And joined in love together,
        The thistle, shamrock, rose entwined,

          You could always light a candle and hold the jar upside-down over the flame, then blow it out. That was all the smoke will go into the jar, and you could but the top back on it. That way you can sort of have the essence of the fire inside.

            Carnelian, amber or garnet beads work well. Ashes... Cinnamon or cinammon candies. Red-hot candies or atomic fireball candies, or those Mexican chile candies would work, too.

                    I was thinking a struck match... wood, charcoal, used up sulfur and the memory of a flame.

                        A "cat eye" stone.

                          These are all pretty awesome. I especially like the "memory" of a flame. A burnt bit of wood would fit great into my jar and it would look nice!

                            A fire agate might be nice. They are very pretty.
