About the Item

ITEM DESCRIPTION: Gem type : Natural Emerald Origin: Afghanistan (Panjshir) Treatment: Minor Oil Color: Viivd Green shape: Octagon Size: 1.13 Carats Emeralds from the Panjshir Valley in Afghanistan are renowned for their exceptional quality and vibrant green color, often compared to those from Colombia, traditionally considered the finest in the world. The Panjshir Valley, located northeast of Kabul, has become a significant source of these gemstones over the past few decades. Key characteristics of Panjshir emeralds include: 1. **Color**: They exhibit a rich, vivid green hue, often with a slight bluish tinge, which is highly prized in the gemstone market. 2. **Clarity**: While many Panjshir emeralds contain inclusions, high-clarity stones are also found and are particularly valuable. 3. **Size and Shape**: The emeralds can be found in various sizes and shapes, including the classic emerald cut, which enhances their color and brilliance. The mining of emeralds in Panjshir is largely artisanal and small-scale, involving local miners who extract the stones using traditional methods. The emeralds are then often cut and polished in markets such as Jaipur in India, known for its skilled gemstone artisans. The geopolitical situation in Afghanistan has impacted the mining and trade of Panjshir emeralds, making them relatively rare and increasing their desirability in the international market. Despite challenges, these emeralds continue to be sought after by collectors and jewelers worldwide for their unique beauty and the mystique surrounding their origin.
