Local stones lovers are gathered in a seasonal market at Sirimau, Ambon City downtown. They sell Indonesian stones called Batu Akik or Agate, Batu Bacan, etc especially for Man’s ring
The stones itself are not qualified as gems but their color and stone reflection, attract locals to visit & trade.
Hey @Buzzflyertoo ,
That’s very interesting for me since I have never been to a stone market. Thanks for sharing. Did you buy something?
P.S.: I just wanted to let you know that I will relabel your post to Local Stories, where Local Guides share their regional experience with each other.
Hi @Bobiisha , I personally bought a specific stone called by local “Batu Jahanam”. I am interested in its locally superstitious believe that this type of stone could absorb poison and cure stomach ache.
The origin colour is purely dove black without mixing with other colors. Do you want to try wearing it as necklace or ring?
