Natural Sulemani Aqeeq 70 Carat – Sunset Red, Orange & White Banded Agate – Origin Iran

Description

This is a genuine Natural Chalcedony Banded Agate (Sulemani Aqeeq/Hakik) sourced from Iran, weighing a substantial 70 carats and hand-cut into a large oval cabochon. The stone moves through a full spectrum of warm tones — deep wine-red at its edges, a glowing amber-orange core, and a soft white banded pocket that catches the light with a milky glassy sheen. Turned to different angles, the color balance shifts dramatically, from fiery orange-red to a softer sunset gradient, giving the piece real visual depth well beyond a flat single color.

This kind of rich multi-color zoning sets the piece apart from typical black-and-white Sulemani material, showcasing the same natural agate banding process in a warm, layered palette instead. As part of the broader Sulemani Aqeeq tradition, it carries the same long-standing cultural associations of protection, grounding, and inner strength found across the Middle East and South Asia.

The cabochon has been expertly hand-cut and polished to a smooth, glossy finish, ready to be set into a ring, pendant, or custom jewelry piece by your goldsmith or silversmith. Given its substantial size, this stone also works beautifully as a statement or display piece.
