4.56 Ct. Cabochon Agate from India

One beautiful translucent 4.56 carat oval shape multi color agate awaits collectors and designers who appreciate natural character and refined craftsmanship. This gem measures 12.38 x 10.62 x 4.92 mm, and it has been shaped into a smooth cabochon cut to maximize its soft glow and internal patterns. The stone shows a medium intense color, with warm cream and beige tones that blend gracefully with warm brown and reddish included spots, giving the surface a painterly, organic appearance. Clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and the excellent polish enhances the stone surface to a lustrous, satiny finish. Enhancement none, origin India, and opal type White Opal. This piece is offered by The Natural Gemstone Company and it is a prime example of an unenhanced, thoughtfully prepared specimen that brings the natural world into wearable art.

As a salesperson with a deep understanding of gemstones, I like to describe how this multi color agate will perform in jewelry and in the hand. The cabochon dome reveals subtle depth when tilted under light, creating a gentle shimmer rather than flashy sparkle, and the translucent body allows light to travel through the stone for a soft internal radiance. The combination of cream fields and scattered reddish spots makes this agate particularly versatile, it will complement warm gold mountings beautifully, and it will also provide an elegant contrast against polished silver or white metals. For a ring, a low bezel setting will protect the high dome while showing off the full face, and for a pendant, a simple open back mount can let additional light enhance the translucence. Collectors who also treasure opals will note that opal type White Opal is a distinct offering in our inventory, and this agate serves as a harmonious companion in mixed stone designs or curated gemstone collections.

Technical details matter for both designers and collectors, so here are the specifics you can rely on when planning a piece or evaluating provenance. Weight 4.56 carats, dimensions 12.38 x 10.62 x 4.92 mm, shape oval, cut cabochon, transparency translucent, clarity grade very slightly included evaluated at eye level, color intensity medium intense, polish excellent, enhancement none, origin India. The very slightly included grade means inclusions are minimal at normal viewing distance, they contribute to the gem character and do not distract from its overall beauty, and the lack of enhancement ensures that you are viewing the natural color and pattern as they occurred in the earth. The cabochon cut also means the stone responds well to protective settings such as bezels or flush mounts, and it can be set securely for everyday wear or displayed as a study piece for collectors. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind accurate, clear descriptions so you can design and set with confidence.

If you are interested in this multi color agate for a commission or a ready to wear piece, I would be happy to advise on settings, metal choices, and complementary stones to create the precise look you desire. We can arrange custom mounting options to protect the dome and showcase the spotted pattern, and we can suggest pairing with warm yellow gold for a vintage inspired feel, or with sterling or fine silver to highlight the stone s cool contrast and cream tones. For care, clean gently with warm water and mild soap, avoid ultrasonic cleaning and harsh chemicals, and avoid prolonged exposure to direct heat to preserve the natural stability of the agate.
