8.82 ct Red Agate - Oval

At 8.82 carats, this agate from Indonesia carries its red color through an oval cut, measuring 14.1 x 11.8 mm.

Agate is banded chalcedony, quartz laid down in patient layers over ages, so every stone is the cross-section of a different slow story. Indonesia's volcanic deposits are a leading modern source of patterned agate and chalcedony. It carries no treatment of any kind, so the color you see is the color that came out of the ground.

A genuine agate at a size and price you can actually wear, the real thing rather than a machine-grown copy. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
