Teal agate is shaped into a slim, six sided pencil point and drilled near the top, so it is ready to hang as a pendant or charm. Each point measures between about 1 and 2 inches long.
Add a jump ring and wear it on a chain or cord, pair two as earrings, or use it for keychains, sun catchers and craft projects. It is an affordable gift and a handy supply for jewelry makers. Matching pencil points come in other agate colors in the shop.
Agate is a hard, durable stone that takes a good polish. Bright teal agate is usually dyed, because agate is porous, so avoid soaking it. Each point is natural, so length, thickness and pattern vary; the ruler photo shows the range.
Agate is a translucent, banded variety of microcrystalline quartz, rated 7 on the Mohs scale. Its bands form as silica is deposited layer by layer inside a rock cavity. Agate is slightly porous, so it takes dye well, which is how most vividly colored agate carvings and decor pieces in the trade are made.
