India Agate

India Agate is among the most versatile chalcedonies in beading — soft, earthy palettes of cream, tan, gray, green, brown, and gold, scattered with swirls and speckles. The name reflects its source: India, where agate has been mined for thousands of years.

A note on the name: many vendors sell this exact stone as "Fancy Jasper." Agate and jasper are both chalcedony — the trade splits them by translucency, and India Agate sits on that line. So you'll see it both ways. We call it India Agate; if you know it as Fancy Jasper, you're in the right place.

Available in smooth rounds (4mm-10mm), faceted rounds, matte rounds, large-hole 8mm, faceted diamonds, rondelle disks, hexagon coins, squares, teardrops, and heishi bicones.
