Twenty-five carats of red agate is a lot of stone for the money. You are buying size rather than rarity, which is how agate works across the board, so use the price to compare, not to judge quality.

The weight is where the interest lies. A stone this large sits well in a wide silver ring, or works as a pendant if a ring feels like too much. Its 6.5 to 7 Mohs rating means it is tough enough for regular use with a protective rim.

This particular stone

This listing is one natural red agate with a weight of 25.15 Carat. Its price is Rs. 3,770 — roughly Rs. 150 for each carat. Treatment: treatment not tested. Quote reference AG-RE-0020 when you message us about it. The photographs show this exact stone, so what arrives at your door is the piece you chose on screen.

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 red 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 red 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 red 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.
