High Quality 0.80CT Natural Swat Emerald
Weight:(0.80)Ct
Stone:(Emerald)
### Swat Emerald: Overview
Swat emeralds are high-quality emeralds mined from the Swat Valley in Pakistan, a region known for producing some of the world’s most vibrant and clear emeralds. These emeralds are prized for their rich green color, excellent transparency, and natural beauty.
---
### Key Characteristics of Swat Emeralds
| Property | Details |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| Origin | Swat Valley, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan |
| Color | Medium to vivid green with a slightly bluish hue |
| Transparency | Generally high; some stones are nearly eye-clean |
| Hardness | 7.5 – 8 (Mohs scale) |
| Mineral | Beryl (like other emeralds) |
| Treatment | Typically oiled (standard for emeralds) |
---
### Why Swat Emeralds Are Special
* Color Quality: Pure and vibrant green tones, sometimes rivaling Colombian emeralds
* Rarity: Limited production — much of it is mined artisanally
* Clarity: Can be more transparent than many emeralds from other regions
* Heritage: Used historically in South Asian royal jewelry
---
### About the Swat Valley
Located in northern Pakistan, the Swat Valley is often called the "*Switzerland of the East**" for its beauty.
Emeralds have been mined there since at least the *1950s**, particularly in Shangla and Mingora.
---
### Things to Watch Out For
* Fractures and inclusions are common in emeralds — some Swat stones are unusually clean
* Oil treatments (usually cedar oil) are common to improve appearance; this is standard practice
* Synthetic emeralds exist — always buy from a trusted dealer with gemological certification (GIA, IGI, etc.)
---
### Swat Emerald Price Range (Approx.)
| Quality Level | Estimated Price (per carat) |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| Commercial-grade | \$50 – \$200 |
| Fine color, included | \$300 – \$800 |
| Clean, vivid green, top-grade | \$1,000 – \$5,000+ |
Untreated or minimally treated stones will command higher prices.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a person is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on behalf of the bidder, incrementally increasing the bid up to the maximum to maintain their position as the highest bidder.
When there is an icon indicating 'Automatic Bid', it means our system is actively placing bids for the bidder based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if bidders are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the bidders maximum limit.
