1.36 ct Swat Emerald Crystal — A Deep Green Jewel of Natural Elegance
Description of Crystal:
Emeralds from the Swat Valley in northern Pakistan have earned a global reputation for their fine, vibrant green hue and elegant clarity. This 1.36 carat emerald crystal, measuring 4.60 × 5.52 × 6.34 mm, showcases the valley’s hallmark beauty — a rich, bluish-green tone, impressive depth, and a natural crystal form that embodies the essence of mountain-born gemstones.
💎 Gemstone Overview
Carat Weight: 1.36 ct
Dimensions: 4.60 × 5.52 × 6.34 mm
Shape Impression: Rectangular to columnar — classic natural emerald crystal form
Depth Ratio: ≈ 1.15 — slightly deep, enhancing internal saturation and richness of colour
This depth indicates strong body colour and a high degree of internal light absorption — giving the stone a glowing, “alive” green when viewed under natural light.
🌍 Origin — The Legendary Swat Valley
The Swat Valley, often referred to as “Pakistan’s Emerald Valley,” produces emeralds celebrated for their pure green hue with subtle bluish undertones. These stones are found within metamorphic schists rich in chromium and vanadium — the trace elements responsible for their iconic colour.
Swat emeralds often show a remarkable combination of colour purity and crystal transparency, giving them an elegant, refined appearance comparable to high-end Zambian or even Colombian emeralds.
✨ Proportion Analysis
Length (4.60 mm): Compact and balanced, contributing to a concentrated body of colour.
Width (5.52 mm): Provides pleasing spread for visual balance.
Depth (6.34 mm): Slightly deep, resulting in rich tone and dimensional glow.
The overall profile suggests a robust crystal with excellent potential for cutting or display as a collector’s specimen — retaining full colour from every angle.
