Description of Lot:
The Prestige of Panjshir Emeralds
The Panjshir Valley is globally renowned for producing emeralds with vivid green colour, excellent clarity, and striking crystal forms. Nestled high in Afghanistan’s Hindu Kush mountains, this region has supplied some of the world’s most prized emeralds for centuries.
This 62.94 ct rough emerald lot represents the pinnacle of Panjshir’s natural artistry — a substantial, raw crystal with remarkable colour and size, perfect for collectors or gem cutters seeking a high-value specimen.
Colour and Natural Brilliance
Even in its rough form, this emerald displays intense, lively green hues characteristic of Panjshir gems, with potential bluish undertones. Its 9.63 × 12.35 × 7.87 mm dimensions allow light to interact beautifully with the crystal, hinting at the brilliance and depth that could emerge after careful cutting.
Natural inclusions, or jardin, may be present within the crystal. These are marks of authenticity and add character, making each rough emerald unique and highly desirable for collectors.
Shape, Structure, and Potential
This emerald rough features a well-proportioned, elongated form, ideal for both preservation and cutting:
For collectors: Its raw, natural form is perfect as a display specimen, showcasing the geological artistry of Panjshir.
For cutters: The crystal’s dimensions allow for emerald-cut, cushion, or rectangular faceted gemstones, preserving maximum weight while highlighting colour and clarity.
The 7.87 mm depth provides substantial volume, enhancing both the visual appeal and potential market value once cut.
Why Panjshir Emeralds Are Highly Coveted
Collectors and investors prize Panjshir emeralds for:
Deep, vivid green colour with excellent saturation
High natural clarity compared to many other emerald sources
Unique crystal formations that are ideal for collectors and faceters
Ethical sourcing potential, with many miners practicing responsible methods
A rough lot of 62.94 ct is particularly rare, as large Panjshir emerald crystals are increasingly difficult to source, making this a standout specimen.

Discovering a 42 Carat Swat Emerald Rough: Sizes, Potential and Insights
Description of Lot:
Emeralds from the Swat region (in northern Pakistan) have long been prized for their vivid green hues and clarity. When a 42 ct rough lot surfaces with individual pieces measuring 6.68 mm, 8.58 mm, and 8.76 mm, it’s worth a closer look. In this post, we’ll explore the possible value, cutting potential, and what gem‑enthusiasts should watch out for.
1. Basic Facts & Context
Total weight: 42 carats (for the rough lot)
Individual sizes: 6.68 mm, 8.58 mm, 8.76 mm
Source: Swat (a historically important emerald mining region in Pakistan)
Swat emeralds are known to often have a bright green color with transparency, though they may come with inclusions typical of natural stones from the region.
2. What Do the Sizes Tell Us?
The dimensions (in mm) of rough stones indicate how large the final faceted gems could be:
6.68 mm — this is relatively small; depending on depth and symmetry, this could yield ~1.0 to 1.5 carat faceted stone (just an estimate).
8.58 mm and 8.76 mm — in the mid‑size range, these have better potential to cut into significant stones, perhaps 2 to 3 carats each, depending on how much internal inclusion or irregular shape one must remove.
However, a lot of rough weight is lost in cutting and polishing (sometimes 40%–60% loss, or more if the rough is irregular or fractured). So from 42 ct total rough, one might expect perhaps 15–25 ct of clean, faceted stones (this is a rough rule of thumb, not a guarantee).
