Natural Carnelian Banded Agate (Sulemani Aqeeq) – Weight 25.08 Carat – Origin Iran – Shape Oval

Description

This 25.08 carat Natural Carnelian Banded Agate, known as Sulemani Aqeeq, comes from Iran, a region long celebrated for producing agate with deep, dramatic color layering. Cut as a smooth oval cabochon with a glassy high polish, the stone displays a flowing progression of warm brown and burnt-orange tones giving way to a dense black band, bordered by a soft white “foam” texture — a naturally occurring crystalline formation that adds real dimensional character to the piece.

Sulemani Aqeeq holds deep significance in South Asian and Middle Eastern tradition, long worn for protection, strength, and positive energy. The natural foam-textured bubble patterns visible along the edge and reverse of this stone are a genuine formation feature of natural agate, not a flaw — evidence of how the stone grew in its host rock over time.

With its bold brown-to-black color progression and substantial size, this piece is well suited for a statement pendant, a focal ring stone, or a treasured addition to a natural agate collection.
