Durr Al Najaf (Arabic: دُر ٱلنَّجَف) is a glossy and clear gemstone from the quartz family. The name means “pearl of Najaf” as it can only be sourced from Wadi-al-Salaam (Arabic: وادي السلام, romanized: Wādī al-Salām, lit. ‘Valley of Peace’) in Najaf, Iraq.

Aqeeq stone is ground into shape (often a cabochon or a short, wide cylinder) and polished to a shine.
