Natural Surkh Aqeeq 27.13 Carat – Translucent Red Agate with Natural “P” Formation – Origin Iran

Description

This is a genuine Natural Surkh Aqeeq (Red & Black Chalcedony Agate) sourced from Iran, weighing 27.13 carats and hand-cut into a smooth oval cabochon. The stone glows a warm translucent red-amber throughout, with soft swirling band patterns visible beneath the surface and a touch of golden-orange banding along one edge. Near the top of the cabochon sits a small natural white chalcedony inclusion with a fleck of green mineral at its center — its shape forming a distinct capital “P,” an entirely natural feature created as trace minerals settled during the stone’s formation, not any kind of carving or enhancement.

This kind of coincidental pictorial detail — where natural inclusions align into a recognizable letterform — is an unusual find even among pictorial agate specimens, adding a layer of novelty appeal on top of the stone’s already rich, glowing color. As part of the broader Aqeeq/Hakik tradition, Surkh Aqeeq carries long-standing associations with vitality, courage, and protection 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.
