Natural Surkh Aqeeq 35.55 Carat – Fire-Lit Red & Black Marbled Agate Cabochon – Origin Iran

Description

This is a genuine Natural Surkh Aqeeq (Black, White & Red Chalcedony Agate) sourced from Iran, weighing 35.55 carats and hand-cut into a large oval cabochon. In direct light, the stone reads as a rich dark mahogany-red base scattered with softly glowing coral spots. Turned toward the light, it reveals a completely different character — a warm cream-and-amber marbled zone laced with fine reddish-brown mineral veining, bordered by deep blackish-red edges. This dual personality, changing with the angle and light source, is a hallmark of high-quality translucent Aqeeq material.

Surkh Aqeeq (“red aqeeq”) holds a long-standing place in the Aqeeq/Hakik tradition across the Middle East and South Asia, worn as a ring or pendant stone for its associations with vitality, courage, and protection. The natural marbled veining seen in this piece is entirely unique — no two stones ever repeat the same internal pattern.

The cabochon has been expertly hand-cut and polished to a smooth, high-gloss finish, ready to be set into a ring, pendant, or custom jewelry piece by your goldsmith or silversmith.

A striking statement piece for collectors and jewelry designers drawn to bold color-shifting natural stones, paired with the traditional symbolism of Aqeeq.
