Swat Pakistan emerald 1.05ct

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 stone has minimal oil treatment to the rough only. No further oiling or other treatments. You're getting a stone as beautiful as nature intended. 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.

Have you heard of pink diaspore? While most are familiar with Turkish diaspore, the green/brown variety of the gemstone sold under the trade name "Zultanite" few are aware of this new variety found in Afghanistan. Pink diaspore is a rare and remarkable gemstone known for its captivating pink hues, ranging from soft blush to vibrant fuchsia. This gemstone exhibits a mesmerizing color-changing phenomenon, displaying different shades depending on the lighting conditions. It transitions from a delicate pink in natural daylight to a warm mauve or champagne tone under incandescent lighting, making it truly unique and versatile. It was discovered in 2020 and wasn't available until after the pandemic opened things back up. This rare and beautiful stone is for those who want to be adventurous and the first to have the latest new trends. I have only a few pieces of this rare gem available. Cut in a bar pattern that accentuates the color shifting; you can see it go from lavender to pink in the twinkle of an eye. Stone weighs 5.6ct and measures 10.4x8.2mm and is 6mm deep. I've seen pink diaspore retailing for over $1000/ct, but my wholesale price is far less.

This stone weighs 2.86ct and measures 9.6x5.9mm. Priced at a reasonable $300/ct, the total price for this stone is $858. Most dealers are now charging over $400/ct for this material.
