Product Description
Natural Swat Emerald Crystal Specimen — This is a vivid green, emerald (beryl) crystal cluster from Pakistan’s Swat region. This piece is offered strictly as a mineral specimen for collection (not facet/cutting grade). It has natural crystal faces, growth features, and matrix staining typical of Swat emerald occurrences.
Specs (Single Piece): Total weight 34.8 carats (6.96 grams) with overall dimensions 26 × 20 × 19 mm. Crystal form is hexagonal. Color is intense bright vivid green.
Collector Notes (What you can see): The specimen displays a compact cluster of hexagonal prismatic emerald crystals with visible longitudinal growth striations along the prism faces. Several faces show a strong vitreous (glassy) luster with reflective, stepped growth patterns. Orange-brown areas is a natural iron-oxide / matrix staining along fractures and contact zones, which is common in field specimens. Overall appearance is mostly opaque with localized translucency near thinner edges, making it ideal for a display box and macro photography.
Size Classification (Collectors): With a longest dimension of 26 mm, this is best described as a small miniature specimen (borderline thumbnail/miniature), suitable for a standard specimen case or gem jar display.
Photography Disclaimer: This specimen was photographed using a macro lens to highlight the natural crystal growth, surface texture, and fine structural details. Macro photography enlarges small features, so the piece may appear bigger in images than it is in hand. In reality, this is a small-sized, miniature mineral specimen.
FAQ about Swat Emeralds
Q1: What is special about Swat emeralds?
Swat emeralds are valued by collectors for their vivid green color, well-formed hexagonal crystals, and classic mountain-origin locality appeal.
Q2: Is this emerald suitable for faceting?
No—this piece is offered as a mineral specimen; its opaque nature and natural fractures make it best for display, not cutting.
Q3: What does “hexagonal crystal” mean for emerald?
Emerald is beryl, which crystallizes in the hexagonal system, often forming six-sided prisms with growth striations on the faces.
Q4: How should I clean an emerald mineral specimen?
Use a soft brush with mild soap and cool water, then air-dry; avoid ultrasonic cleaners, harsh chemicals, and heat.
Q5: How can collectors tell a natural emerald crystal specimen?
Natural specimens commonly show growth striations, uneven crystal surfaces, matrix contact, and natural fracture patterns rather than perfectly smooth, uniform surfaces.
