Natural Agate (Aqeeq) 13.75ct Dark Brown, Oval, Yemen

13.75ct Yemeni Aqeeq, What This Stone Actually Is

Pick this up and you notice it immediately. This natural aqeeq 13.75ct dark brown oval, sourced directly from Yemen, carries that dense, resinous weight that separates genuine Yemeni stone from the Taiwanese imitations flooding Karachi’s Saddar market right now. Real origin. No compromise.

Aqeeq, known in Arabic and Urdu as the stone of the Prophet (SAW), has been worn in Pakistan for centuries. This particular piece is translucent, not opaque, which means light passes through the edges with a warm amber-brown glow (a detail most sellers skip mentioning entirely). It’s listed on our Aqeeq stone collection page because it meets every benchmark we set for Yemeni origin.

No synthetics. Pure Yemen.

Color Depth and Physical Profile of This Stone

What exactly are you getting here? Let’s be specific. This natural aqeeq 13.75ct dark brown sits at 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, harder than most people expect from an agate. It belongs to the chalcedony family, a microcrystalline quartz, and the dark brown color comes from iron oxide concentrations within the banding layers.

A typical Yemeni aqeeq at this weight reads lighter in tone, closer to a caramel brown. This one runs deeper, a brown that shifts toward near-black at the stone’s thickest cross-section under natural light, then lightens to rich tobacco at the edges under fluorescent lighting. That tonal range is what Pakistani buyers from Lahore’s Anarkali bazaar to Islamabad’s F-7 market specifically travel to find. The oval cut preserves maximum weight while showcasing the natural layering.

Aqeeq in Islamic Tradition, What the Hadith Actually Says

3 things matter when Pakistani buyers ask about wearing aqeeq. First: the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) wore an aqeeq ring on his right hand, this is recorded in Tirmidhi. Second: Imam Ali (RA) is reported to have said that wearing aqeeq protects from poverty and strengthens dua. Third: scholars across the Hanafi and Shia traditions both recommend it.

Log kehte hain it’s just a stone. Honestly, the spiritual weight this gem carries in Pakistani, Iranian, and Arab households is not superstition, it’s documented tradition going back fourteen centuries. Wearing it on the right hand’s ring finger during Friday prayers is the standard recommendation across Pakistani Islamic scholars.

Worth it? At 13.75ct, yes.

Is This Stone Real? Here’s How We Check

Real or fake? Pakistani buyers get burned on this more than any other gemstone category. Synthetic agate and dyed Brazilian agate are everywhere, they’re cheaper, they look similar in photos, and dishonest sellers in Peshawar’s Friday Market pass them off as Yemeni without hesitation.

Here’s what we do. Every stone goes through refractive index testing (genuine agate reads 1.530-1.540), specific gravity measurement, and UV light inspection, no heat treatment or dye shows up as fluorescence under shortwave UV (and we check this ourselves before listing). Physical test you can do at home: genuine Yemeni aqeeq feels noticeably cold to the touch for several seconds, and a heated needle won’t scratch the surface. For full documentation, see our gemstone authentication Pakistan page. This natural aqeeq 13.75ct dark brown comes with a verification card from our in-house gemologist.
