With a Mohs hardness of 6.5-7, it is robust and suitable for everyday wear. The typical color palette ranges from gray to pink to the warm chocolate-brown tones shown by this specimen. The banding becomes particularly visible when you hold the stone against a light source – the layers then glow with an almost transparent appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eHow do I properly care for my agate pendant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eAgate can easily withstand being rinsed briefly under lukewarm water, as its hardness of 6.5-7 makes it quite resistant. Nevertheless, you should not leave it in water for a long time or put it in an ultrasonic cleaner, as the cord could suffer. Direct, long-term sunlight can cause the color to fade slightly over time, so it is best to store it in a shaded place. You can easily refresh it energetically overnight in moonlight or briefly next to a selenite plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eHow do I recognize real agate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eGenuine agate shows irregular, naturally grown banding that varies slightly in width and path – overly perfect, symmetrical patterns often indicate dyed or synthetic material. Natural-colored agate usually looks more muted, while very bright colors like neon blue or neon green are almost always artificially treated. The warm chocolate and cream tones of this piece are created naturally by iron oxide deposits in the rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eWhy does the stone glow so specially in backlight?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eAgate consists of the finest chalcedony layers that have different densities and are therefore differently translucent.
