Under five carats, this yellow agate is a small stone, and that has consequences. It will look best in a ladies' ring or a slim pendant; on a heavy gents' ring it would vanish. At 4.80 carats you wear it as an accent, not a statement.

When buying any small yellow agate, look at three things. Colour should be even and not streaky. Polish should be smooth. And you should ask about dyeing, since yellow agate is often dyed to reach its colour. We will say what we know of this stone if you contact +92 308 887 3888 with GS-YE-0002.

This particular stone

This listing is one natural yellow agate with a weight of 4.8 Carat. Its price is Rs. 750 — roughly Rs. 156 for each carat. Treatment: treatment not tested. Quote reference GS-YE-0002 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.

Between two and six carats is the range most people choose for a gents' ring or a noticeable pendant. Here colour drives the price more than size does, which is why two stones of near-identical weight can be priced very differently.

On the Mohs scale yellow 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 yellow 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 yellow 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.
