Description

Description of Lot:
Emeralds from Pakistan’s Swat Valley are world-renowned for their vivid green colour, crystalline structure, and natural allure. One exceptional example is this 41.25 carat emerald rough, measured approximately 7.24 × 8.97 × 6.37 mm, a gem that reflects both the geological beauty and the skilled mining traditions of the region.

The Beauty of Swat Valley Emeralds

The Swat region, often called the “Switzerland of the East,” produces emeralds comparable in colour and character to those from Colombia and Zambia. The stones typically feature a rich, bluish-green hue with high transparency — a signature of the Swat origin.

This particular 41.25 ct emerald rough exemplifies those prized traits:

Origin: Mingora, Swat District, Pakistan

Colour tone: Deep green with slight bluish undertones

Transparency: Semi-transparent to transparent zones visible in rough form

Structure: Compact crystal with natural terminations and minimal surface fractures

Why This Rough Is Special

Large Carat Weight
At over 40 carats, this piece represents a significant acquisition for collectors and cutters alike. Such size offers flexibility — one could cut a large central gemstone or several medium-sized stones.

Shape & Dimensions
With its near-balanced proportions (7.24 × 8.97 × 6.37 mm), the rough suggests an elongated crystal suitable for cutting oval, cushion, or emerald-cut stones. The moderate depth ensures good yield while retaining brilliance.

Colour Quality
Swat emeralds are known for their natural saturation and even colour zoning. This piece appears to maintain consistent tone across the crystal, increasing its cutting potential and reducing waste.

Cutting Possibilities

Single Gem Strategy: Potential yield of a 4–6 ct faceted gem of high quality.

Multiple Stone Strategy: Divide the rough into two or three smaller stones (~2–3 ct each), ideal for fine jewellery sets.

Collector Value: If the natural crystal structure is well-preserved, it may be kept in rough form for display or study.
