Beautiful 1.40ct Swat Valley Pakistan emerald

What do you love about Pink diaspore? I love that it's a relatively unheard of stone. While it might look similar to stones like Amythist, purple sapphire, spinel or perhaps even morganite, it is the little inclusions that run through the stone, giving each its own unique fingerprint. The stone also exhibits color change like its Turkish cousin Zultanite. Where Zultanite changes from brown to green, this has a subtle lavender to pink change in bright sunlight. It was first brought to market in Peshawar Pakistan after being discovered in neighboring Afghanistan. The miners and people who literally risk their lives to bring a few handfuls of this material across the border into Pakistan are the true heroes here. One handful of stones can feed a family for a year. This particular stone measures 10.8x6.9mm and weighs 3.68ct. It's a good size for either a ring or a pendant.

Don't you love the inclusions found in natural emerald? I think an emeralds inclusions are like Mother Nature's artwork, and she certainly felt like painting this one!

This 1.16ct Swat Valley Pakistan emerald is a masterpiece. The color is vivid green with a hint of blue, making it the ideal color for emerald. The stone measures 6.86x5.39 and would be perfect in a ring or a pendant. Emeralds are 20 times rarer than diamonds and usually much more expensive than this for the "real deal." Getting it from me at miner direct pricing saves you 100's of dollars.
