From the riverbeds and alluvial terraces of India, a small, unassuming nodule began its long journey, emerging from ancient layers of basalt and sediment to reveal the banded architecture that makes agate beloved across cultures. Hand collected by local miners who know these seams intimately, this piece was chosen for its translucency and warm orange tone. At The Natural Gemstone Company we respect that journey, and we record each step, from the careful extraction to the first wash that reveals subtle internal character. The stone then moved to experienced cutters and polishers, artisans who understand how to coax maximum depth from chalcedony. They shaped it into an oval cabochon, the smooth dome revealing a medium intense color intensity, while an excellent polish was applied to enhance surface luster and tactile appeal. Measured at 5.68 carat, and sized precisely at 12.02 x 11.20 x 5.71 mm, the gem sits as a classic cabochon that favors glow over sparkle, translucency over brilliance, and a gentle, wearable presence over ostentation.
What you will hold is a gem that blends natural history and human skill, an eye clean orange agate that was evaluated at eye level and found to carry no visible inclusions to the naked eye, a trait that makes it ideal for jewelry that is seen up close. The color has been enhanced by dyeing, a traditional and widely accepted treatment that deepens the orange to a warm, even tone that catches the light softly. This enhancement is disclosed clearly because the integrity of provenance matters as much as beauty. This agate is ready to become a statement cabochon in a ring or a soothing center in a pendant, a piece that carries Indian origins and artisan refinement with it. If you seek a gem with a story to tell, a comfortable size for everyday wear, and a surface finish that invites touch, The Natural Gemstone Company invites you to consider this 5.68 carat oval orange agate as a bridge between rugged geology and refined design, a small jewel that carries a long history from earth to hand.
