Description of Lot:
Swat Valley in Pakistan remains one of the world’s most admired sources of natural emeralds, treasured for their radiant green tones and strong mineral identity. Each rough parcel from this region carries a unique story of geological formation — pressure, heat, and mineral-rich fluids working together over millions of years to create remarkable green beryl.
The 52.05-carat emerald rough lot presented here is a powerful example of Swat’s natural beauty, combining impressive size with structural depth and excellent cutting potential.
Origin: Swat Valley’s Signature Emerald Beauty
Swat emeralds are prized for:
Their vivid, glowing green color
Natural formation features and inclusions
Good transparency zones in certain rough parcels
Strong desirability in both the jewelry and collector markets
Authentic geological character unique to northern Pakistan
This makes each rough lot — especially one above 50 carats — valuable to lapidaries and collectors alike.
Key Specifications of This Rough Lot
Total Weight: 52.05 carats
Dimensions: 11.24 × 10.90 × 10.19 mm
Material: Natural emerald rough
Origin: Swat Valley, Pakistan
With nearly equal height, width, and depth, this parcel has a blocky, robust structure that offers tremendous versatility.
Why This 52.05-Carat Lot Stands Out
1. Excellent Depth & Cutting Flexibility
A depth of 10.19 mm gives this rough impressive volume, ideal for:
Medium to large faceted emeralds
Strong, domed cabochons
Thick emerald slices
Gem carvings or sculptures
Multiple small gemstones from different sections
Such depth increases the potential for higher-quality yields during cutting.
2. A Valuable Mid-Large Parcel
At 52.05 carats, this lot sits firmly in the premium category of rough emerald parcels. It holds value for:
Traders seeking high-demand Swat material
Lapidaries searching for larger cutting stock
Collectors who appreciate substantial raw pieces
Larger parcels like this tend to retain their value over time.

Description of Lot:
Emerald lovers, feast your eyes on this remarkable 14.60-carat faceted emerald — a rare blend of two of Asia’s most prestigious sources: Swat Valley in Pakistan and Panjshir Valley in Afghanistan. Measuring 7.01 × 5.54 × 3.34 mm, this gem combines the best of both worlds in color, clarity, and craftsmanship.
💎 About This Emerald

Dimensions: 7.01 × 5.54 × 3.34 mm
Origin: Swat Valley (Pakistan) & Panjshir Valley (Afghanistan)
Cut: Faceted, showcasing brilliance and fire
Treatment: Typically untreated or minimally treated, preserving natural beauty
🌍 Swat & Panjshir: Emerald Powerhouses
Both the Swat and Panjshir valleys are renowned for producing world-class emeralds:
Swat Emeralds are known for their vibrant green hues and crystal clarity.
Panjshir Emeralds rival Colombian stones in depth of color and brilliance.
Together, a mixed origin emerald like this offers a unique combination of color saturation and transparency, making it highly sought-after by collectors and designers.
✨ Why This Emerald Stands Out
Large Carat Weight: At 14.60 ct, it’s a significant gem suitable for statement jewelry pieces.
Expert Faceting: Precision cut to maximize light reflection and sparkle.
Natural Origins: Reflects the rich heritage of two legendary gem-producing regions.
💬 Final Thoughts
This 14.60 ct faceted emerald is more than just a gem — it’s a story of geography, geology, and artisanal craftsmanship. Whether set in a bespoke ring, pendant, or kept as a collectible, it promises to capture attention and admiration.

23.75ct Swat Emerald Crystal – Impressive Size & Rich Natural Color
Description of Crystal:
This 23.75-carat emerald crystal from the renowned Swat Valley in Pakistan is a commanding specimen that showcases deep green hues, natural structure, and bold size. With substantial proportions of 18.42 x 17.05 x 10.67mm, it’s a rare and visually impactful piece ideal for advanced collectors or crystal-focused artists.
Why Swat Emeralds Stand Out
Swat emeralds are celebrated worldwide for their rich color, transparency, and strong hexagonal growth. This crystal maintains its raw, uncut form, likely free of treatment, allowing you to experience the emerald exactly as it formed deep within the earth.
Its thickness and clarity zones suggest potential for both display and lapidary exploration, though its natural beauty makes it just as valuable as a collector’s specimen.
