Emerald Specimens Raw

Raw Emerald Specimens from Pakistan's Premier Mining Regions

This collection features natural raw emerald specimens sourced directly from the Swat Valley and Chitral district of Pakistan — two of the world's most recognized emerald-producing regions. Every piece in this collection is a genuine mineral specimen, offered in its natural, uncut form. All items are 100% natural and untreated unless explicitly stated in the individual product listing.

What This Collection Includes

Emerald Crystals on Calcite Matrix

Several specimens in this collection feature vivid green emerald crystals naturally embedded in white calcite matrix. The contrast between the green beryl crystals and the white host rock makes these pieces visually distinct and scientifically significant. Examples include the 67 Grams Vivid Green Swat Emerald on Calcite (53 x 45 x 35 mm) at $220 and the 8.8 Grams Emerald on Calcite (27.6 x 19.6 x 14 mm) at $65 — an accessible entry point for new collectors.

Miniature Emerald Specimens

Miniature specimens are self-contained, display-ready pieces that fit standard mineral display cases. This collection includes multiple miniature-grade pieces from Swat, Pakistan, ranging from 30.25 carats to 46 carats. The 46 Carats Vivid Green Emerald Specimen (30 x 23 x 14 mm) at $200 and the 30.25 Carats Emerald Specimen (22 x 20 x 16 mm) at $150 are examples of compact, well-formed specimens suited for display collections.

Crystal Cluster Specimens

Crystal cluster specimens contain multiple emerald crystals growing together on a shared matrix. The 42.8 Grams Chitral Emerald Crystals Bunch (45 x 38 x 28 mm) at $350 and the 34.8 Ct Vivid Green Crystal Cluster (26 x 20 x 19 mm) at $250 are examples of multi-crystal formations from documented Pakistani origins.

Single Crystal Specimens

Single crystal specimens offer a focused view of emerald crystal form and color. The 38.3 Grams Swat Emerald Crystal on Calcite (40 x 35 x 30 mm) at $250 and the 20.6 Grams Chitral Emerald Crystal (34 x 26 x 20 mm) at $170 are individual crystal pieces with documented dimensions and weights.
