bahan batu akik kecubung karang termasuk yang sangat dicari karena keunikan dan keindahanya.

kecubung karang adalah jenis batuan dengan ciri utama berwarna jernih dengan motif berwarna warni di dalamnya, sehingga nampak seperti aquarium. motif di dalam batu tersebut biasanya berbentuk seperti tumbuhan yang beraneka ragam.
penasaran dengan batu kecubung karang, mengantarkan saya untuk berburu ketempat asal batu tersebut yaitu di daerah sempalai. sempalai terletak antara kota singkawang dan kota sambas di kalimantan barat. perjalanan dari kota singkawang ditempuh selama 3 jam perjalan darat. jalan lumayan lebar namun masih banyak yang dalam perbaikan sehingga tidak bisa laju dengan cepat.
dipusat penjualan batu kecubung karang di kota sempalai berada di pinggir jalan raya, toko-toko atau lapak yang menjual batu kecubung karang tersebut berupa bahan kecil-kecil. pembeli bisa membeli dalam bentuk satuan atau borongan. harga yang diberikan untuk bijian batu yang masih dalam bentuk bahan dari rp 5.000 sampai Rp. 20.000, namun untuk yang sudah jadi batu akik yang sudah dibentuk dan digosok halus bisa mencapai 100.000 sampai dengan jutaan rupiah. kalau beli borongan perkilo antara 50.00 sampai 100.000 rupiah.
