Red Baron Agate

Item Description

A beautiful "Oval Cabochon" cut gem of the famed Red Baron Agate from Indonesia. I've seen this material also marketed as Red Baron Carnelian and Red Baron or Red Baron Chalcedony, but they're all essentially synonyms for cryptocrystalline Quartz. What matters here is the color. That rich royal red hue (with a slight orange overtone), is completely natural (no dyes or any other treatment whatsoever), and it's rare to find such consistent and saturated color in Quartz like this in nature. This is a good sized stone, which looks beautiful in both reflected light or transmitted light, as it glows with color when backlit. These are not easy to find in this size on the market, and I've seen the demand and price of gems increase over the last few years, so don't miss out on a chance to pick up an impressive and beautiful stone for a good price.
