Pale stones are easy to underestimate. White agate does not flash or blaze; it looks calm, a milky, soft-edged stone that suits understated clothes as well as it suits a silver ring on a strong hand.

This one weighs 21.8 carats, enough for a broad face. It is rated 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, so daily wear in a ring is realistic, and a pendant will last even longer between knocks. The price is Rs. 3,150, about Rs. 144 per carat, and the reference is GS-WH-0006.

Calm does not mean we skip the questions. White agate is usually sold as nature made it, but that is true of the family and not a statement about this individual stone. Send us a message on WhatsApp and we will say what we know; independent lab testing is available on request.

When the parcel arrives, look at it in daylight, check the edge for chips, and decide with the stone in your hand. More choices are on the white agate page.

Cash on Delivery is available across Pakistan, so you inspect the stone before paying, and returns are accepted within 7 days of delivery. Before you choose, read our white agate guide.

This particular stone

This listing is one natural white agate with a weight of 21.8 Carat. Its price is Rs. 3,150 — roughly Rs. 144 for each carat. Treatment: treatment not tested. Quote reference GS-WH-0006 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 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.

Whoever you buy white 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 white 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.
