1.95ct Laghman Emerald Crystal: Sleek Afghan Beauty with Exceptional Spread
Description of Crystal:
Straight from the highlands of Laghman Province, Afghanistan, this 1.95 carat emerald crystal brings elegance in an unusually sleek form. Measuring 15.60 mm × 7.69 mm × 2.56 mm, it’s a long, flat crystal that offers remarkable face-up size for its carat weight — a rare and desirable characteristic in natural emeralds.
Slender and Elegant Dimensions
What makes this piece especially unique is its elongated, ultra-slim profile:
Length: 15.60 mm
Width: 7.69 mm
Depth: just 2.56 mm
The wide face and low profile give the illusion of a much larger carat weight, making it a superb choice for statement jewelry designs such as pendants, bar-set rings, or custom bracelets.
Its natural, raw formation adds to its value, especially for those who appreciate uncut beauty with genuine mineral character.
Color: Distinctive Laghman Green
This crystal shows the signature warm green typical of Laghman emeralds — slightly softer than Colombian greens but full of depth and life. Its flat surface allows light to interact across a broad area, bringing out subtle color zoning and internal textures that add to its natural charm.
Despite its shallow depth, the clarity and light performance remain visually attractive due to its smooth, wide spread.
Why Laghman Emeralds?
Laghman emeralds are gaining attention for:
✅ Unique color tones with rich, earthy warmth
✅ Ethically mined from remote regions using traditional methods
✅ Increasing scarcity, especially in long, spread-out crystals like this one
Perfect For…
Minimalist fine jewelry with a modern aesthetic
Collectors looking for rare crystal shapes

Conclusion
The 1.95ct emerald crystal from Laghman is more than meets the eye — a rare, slender gem with excellent face-up size, unique structure, and rich Afghan color. Its length and spread make it perfect for elegant modern designs or for collectors who appreciate shape just as much as carat weight.
