Buyers often write to us about green agate with the same handful of questions. Here are the answers for this 12.60 carat stone.

Is it a natural stone?

Yes, a natural green agate, sold as a single loose piece. Like most strongly green agate it is usually dyed, so ask us about this one and we will share what we know.

Will it scratch?

It sits at 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, fine for a ring or pendant if you take it off for heavy work. Keep it away from sand and abrasive cleaners.

What setting suits it?

A silver bezel ring or a simple pendant. At this size it reads clearly on the hand without feeling heavy.

If anything is still unclear, quote AG-GR-0002 on WhatsApp and we will answer directly. The rest of the family is on the green agate page. Before you choose, read our green agate guide.

Pay the rider after inspecting the stone. Karachi usually receives orders in 1–2 working days, other cities in 2–4, and returns are open for 7 days.

Above twelve carats you are into collector territory. Pieces this heavy are usually set as pendants or kept loose, and they are prized for the size of rough they came from. If you do set it, choose a bezel or a heavy claw to protect the edges.

On the Mohs scale green agate rates 6.5 to 7. That is middle-of-the-road hardness: comfortable in pendants and earrings, and in rings worn with some care. Store it apart from harder stones so it does not pick up scratches, and wipe it with a damp cloth rather than scrubbing.

Whoever you buy green agate from, make sure of three things: the stone is natural rather than lab-grown, glass or glass-filled; any treatment is stated in writing; and the weight quoted is the weight of the finished stone. We check every green agate for those three points before it is listed, and because you pay on delivery you can look at the stone — or have it tested — before any money changes hands.
