About the Craft
Stone carving in Gujarat has ancient origins, with craftsmen developing exceptional skills in shaping and polishing various gemstones and minerals. Working with agate requires particular expertise as artisans must respect the stone's natural layering whilst creating smooth, even surfaces. The process begins with selecting quality red agate pieces, followed by careful cutting to achieve the desired heart shape. Craftsmen then spend hours grinding and polishing the stone, both inside and out, to bring out its inherent lustre and translucency. The final product reflects countless hours of patient handwork, with each bowl bearing the unique characteristics of its source stone.
Speciality
What makes this agate bowl truly special is its organic beauty combined with thoughtful design. The heart shape adds emotional appeal whilst the natural stone variations ensure no two bowls are identical. The red agate's warm tones and semi-transparent nature create visual depth, making it captivating from every angle.
How to Care?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid dropping or knocking against hard surfaces, as stone can chip. Keep away from extreme temperature changes. Dry thoroughly after cleaning to maintain the polished finish.
