Timor Agate 71.20 CT From Indonesia 

Timor Agate is a rare, visually striking form of banded chalcedony sourced primarily from the Indonesian island of Timor. Prized for its earthy warm tones (pinks, purples, oranges, and grays) and frequent druzy quartz centers, this sought-after stone is used in jewelry, lapidary art, and metaphysical healing. 

Because of its recent entry into the global crystal and lapidary market, supply is highly limited. Prices vary dramatically depending on the piece: 

 

  • Rough cuts / slabs: Usually priced around $7 for small pairs or up to roughly $60 for unpolished rocks.
  • Polished displays: Large polished slices and display specimens often command $65 to upwards of $280 or more. 

 

For rockhounds and collectors, the thrill of this stone is often in the cutting. The rough exterior frequently conceals vibrant, shifting, lake-like banding and "rainbow" effects that are only revealed once the stone is sliced. 

If you are looking to purchase a piece, you can explore available rough slabs, slices, and finished cabs on platforms like www.dig-it-mining.com or browse specialized dealer stock on SilverHill Lapidary and The Crystal Council.
