At The Natural Gemstone Company we pride ourselves on presenting singular gems that speak to collectors who seek something rare, something quietly supreme. This offering is one such treasure, a translucent oval orangish red agate that carries an uncommon intensity of hue and a refined presence that is at once warm and sophisticated. We invite a discerning buyer to consider this piece not as an ordinary purchase, but as an entry into an intimate circle of owners who value depth of color, thoughtful craftsmanship, and the subtle story embedded in every natural stone. There are only a few gems of this grade and personality that cross our benches in a year, and this cabochon stands out as a specimen that will instantly elevate any collection or jewelry design it joins.
The technical details are simple and exact, and they confirm the gem quality that you can appreciate with confidence. The stone weighs 6.01 carats, presented in an oval outline measuring 12.17 x 11.26 x 6.14 millimeters. It has been fashioned into a classic cabochon cut, chosen to maximize the gem s translucency and to allow its rich color to glow from within. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a condition that preserves the gem s natural character while remaining clean to the casual glance. Color intensity is described as intense, a descriptor that reflects the saturated orangish red tone that makes this agate distinctive. The polish is excellent, giving the dome a mirror like finish that plays with light to deliver a soft and luminous shine.
This agate has been enhanced by dyeing, a common and accepted treatment that intensifies the stone s innate color and brings forward the tonal uniformity that jewelers and designers prize. The enhancement has been applied judiciously to preserve the gem s natural translucence and internal structure. When you hold the cabochon under varied light, you will notice how the dyeing enhances warmth without masking the stone s original banding textures and organic inclusions. The effect is a luminous, almost inner illumination, that suggests fire and earth in harmonious balance. The cabochon form is particularly suited to this gem because it celebrates the play of light across the curved surface, inviting prolonged admiration and a tactile appreciation for the careful cutting and finishing work that has been done.
Origin matters to collectors, and this agate comes from India, a region with a long, storied history of producing fine agates and skilled lapidary work. Our sourcing respects traditional material channels, and each stone is selected for its individual merit. The orange red tone draws upon the rich palette associated with Indian agates, yet this particular specimen carries a contemporary elegance that transcends trends. Because of its dimensions and weight, the cabochon is well suited to bespoke settings. Imagine it set in a handcrafted ring for a statement of quiet authority, or mounted in a pendant where it can catch daylight and candlelight equally well. For designers seeking a focal point that is both wearable and museum worthy, this piece offers immediate visual impact and versatility.
Owning this gem means joining the ranks of collectors who appreciate rarity and discretion. At The Natural Gemstone Company we limit exposure of our most singular stones, preferring to work directly with clients who understand pedigree, proportion, and provenance. This piece will not be available indefinitely, and we encourage serious inquiries promptly to secure the gem for commission or immediate setting. We provide comprehensive documentation about weight, measurements, cut, clarity, enhancement, and origin, and we are happy to advise on mounting options that protect the stone while showcasing its intense color and fine polish. For those who wish to own a stone that feels like a private discovery, this translucent 6.01 carat orangish red agate from India is an exclusive opportunity to acquire something both elemental and refined from The Natural Gemstone Company.
