At 22.4 carats, this green agate is on the large side for the stone. Agate grows in big nodules and is cut generously, so larger weights are common and not unusual, but 22 carats still covers a lot of finger. Expect a broad, bold stone that reads as a statement ring, best suited to a larger hand or a pendant that is meant to be noticed.

The price is Rs. 3,360, about Rs. 150 per carat, which is steady for the family. Hardness is 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale. That is solid for a weighty piece, but bigger stones are more exposed at the edges, so a silver bezel is the sensible choice.

When you buy green agate in any size, look for even colour and a surface free of chips. Deeper greens are usually dyed, so a good seller will tell you rather than hide it. Ask us on WhatsApp +92 308 887 3888 about this stone using SKU GS-GR-0009.

This particular stone

This listing is one natural green agate with a weight of 22.4 Carat. Its price is Rs. 3,360 — roughly Rs. 150 for each carat. Treatment: treatment not tested. Quote reference GS-GR-0009 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 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, a certificate is available on request, and because you pay on delivery you can look at the stone — or have it tested — before any money changes hands.
