What Red Agate looks like in the photo
Each piece of the mosaic is a rounded slice of agate, with red rings around a cream center. The slices sit on a burgundy background. That red against the cream explains the high contrast. Cream and white complete the palette. The pattern changes moderately within the slab and the polish shines over the whole slab, as the photo shows.

Finishes of a Red Agate slab
The slab comes in a glossy polish, as you can see in the photo. To mount it backlit, the real slab has to let some light through.

If the red rings and the cream centers let light through, it can be backlit; the real slab says so.

Questions about Red Agate
Is a Red Agate slab a single stone?
No. It is assembled by hand: slices of natural agate are placed one by one and the resin joins them on a base, so each panel keeps a pattern of its own. Anyone looking for Red Agate finds the same stone. Before you buy, we send you photos of the slabs available for your order.
Can Red Agate be mounted with light behind it?
Only when the real slab allows it. The red and cream rings in the photo may let some light through, with no certainty. In that case the light source is mounted behind the panel and not touching the slab, so it gets no direct heat.
How does it differ from red jasper?
Both are red panels of semi-precious stone. In its photo, red jasper fills large pieces of an intense orange-red, separated by fine gray joints. In the photo of this slab, red agate instead forms a mosaic of slices with rings and cream centers.
How do you care for a Red Agate panel?
The resin calls for gentle cleaning: a soft cloth and water, no solvents or abrasive cleaners. On a table, trivets under any hot source: direct heat is not good for the resin.
How does a Red Agate slab reach my country?
We ship to any country, with the stone's documents of origin and its CE certification. On the shipping page we explain how it reaches each region.
