A Gemstone Craftman from the Edge of River Luk Ulo at Pasarpari, Kebumen Downtown
River Luk Ulo, just like as its name, twisting as a python which was
walking from upstream to downstream. This river upstream is in a gap at hills
of The Thousand Mountains in the North.
The flow of the river route to South until downstream and was going into the
Indian Ocean. Near the upstream, there is a very unique geological sites, Sites
of Geological (Geo Park) Karangsambung. From downtown, it’s about 19
kilometers.
On the site of geopark Karangsambung, there are various kinds of stones:
agate, suiseki, biseki, coal and great pride for residents of Kebumen Central
Java, Indonesia, is the uniqueness of agate which there was the best entire
Asia region, perhaps also in the world. Therefore, the Indonesian
Institute of Sciences (LIPI) set up a special research site and make it as a
scientific tourism.
A citizen of the river Luk Ulo edge at Pasarpari, Kebumen downtown, Subowo (42 years) is an agate craftsman which has been working since the early 1990's. At that time, he received the materials of the existing river below his house. Needless goes a long way in order to choose the desired material without damaging the natural environment at the river which was the source of life for the people around it.

Subowo told, the largest environmental changes in the river Luk Ulo was
making more difficulties in getting raw materials. And if any, the price was
going more and more expensive materials. Some types are very hard to obtain.
Indeed, there are two distinctive types of agate Luk Ulo River were purple
amethyst and the ginggang which’s striped. Types of
amethyst in great demand because it brings the myth seeking the wealth. If you
filled a manner and by certain shamans it could be bringing a financial benefit
and strengthen charisma. Meanwhile, the ginggang’s
more diversity motives and preferred color for jewelry. Mainly as gemstones for
gold rings.
Subowo story is a small indication of a great changing in the natural
environment at River Luk Ulo which had
been tending less friendly to the human being because of the damage occurred
continuously from upstream to downstream. In fact, not far from the governmental offices, about 500 meters from
the office Head of Regent, the landsliding at the village cemetery has not been
able to overcome Kebumen properly. Even extending to the South. In addition to
the soil structure which contains a lot of spring water in it, hit the river
water due to the loss of tree cover crops, especially Kendal tree and the
thining layer of sand was mining on a large scale using heavy machinery at the upstream
area around “the dam Kali Gending” and Karangpoh village were adding a heavy
burden of River Luk Ulo. Plus and plus a laying off the soil erosion at South
region for making the bricks, certainly increases the potential
damaging the nature of this river. It
does not include the damage due to the using poison for illegal fishing activities
usually was going on mid-dry season.
