Stone:(Emerald)

Origin:(Afghanistan Panjshir valley)

Only stone size:(1.05)CT

Panjshir emeralds are highly prized green gemstones mined in the Panjshir Valley of Afghanistan. They are known for their exceptional clarity and rich, vivid green color, often compared to the finest Colombian emeralds.

### Key Features of Panjshir Emeralds:

- Color: Deep, vibrant green—sometimes slightly bluish. Comparable to high-quality Colombian emeralds.

- Clarity: Typically cleaner (fewer inclusions) than many other emeralds, though inclusions are still common and accepted in emeralds.

- Origin: Mined in the rugged mountains of the Panjshir Valley, northeast of Kabul.

- Value: Increasingly sought after due to quality and limited supply. Top stones can be quite valuable.

- Treatment: Like most emeralds, they are often oiled to improve clarity, but many are less treated than their counterparts from other countries.

### How to Identify a Genuine Panjshir Emerald:

- Color and Clarity: Rich green with good transparency.

- Origin Certification: Reputable dealers can provide lab reports confirming Afghan origin (e.g., GIA, IGI, GRS).

- Inclusions: Look for natural inclusions (jardin) — completely flawless emeralds are rare and usually synthetic.
