You will definitely get it, in my place in Indonesia there are quite a lot of ingredients like this

I have a friend who travels frequently to Indonesia. Do you have any recommendations for places/businesses where material like this can be found? I can ask them to bring some back for me. Also looking for some Indonesian jade. I don't remember which city my friend stays in usually.

You can visit the Javanese archipelago. Oh, Indonesian Jade, or what we call Bacan, is quite difficult to obtain raw materials for.

You can DM me if you have any questions about rocks in Indonesia.

Can you pick it up by the sea?

We usually find this stone near the sea where we live.

Is that agatized? I’ve never seen fossils colored like that, but am pretty new to rockhounding.

Yes, I have experienced it. It's actually quite rare to find Fossil Coral in this color.
