Who suits a 21.05 carat white agate? Mainly someone who wants a pale, quiet stone with real size: a man looking for a broad ring in silver, or a buyer after a pendant that goes with both traditional and Western clothes.

Size and wear

Twenty-one carats gives a wide, flat face, so keep the setting protective. White agate measures 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale and handles daily wear well, as long as you store it apart from harder gems. Wipe it clean with a soft cloth.

On the Mohs scale white 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.
