Product Description
This natural Swat emerald specimen showcases vivid green emerald crystals naturally embedded within their original geological matrix. Sourced from the Swat region of Pakistan, the specimen preserves the natural association between emerald mineralization and the surrounding host rock, making it an attractive piece for mineral collectors, emerald enthusiasts, and natural gemstone specimen collections.
The emerald-bearing area is concentrated across the upper portion of the specimen, where several green crystal formations can be seen emerging from the lighter-colored matrix. The crystals display natural growth textures, irregular surfaces, variations in transparency, and rich green coloration. Darker mineral material is also visible around portions of the emerald-bearing zone, creating natural contrast within the specimen.
Natural Swat Emerald Specimen
Unlike a cut emerald intended for jewelry, this piece has been preserved as a natural mineral specimen. Its character comes from the visible emerald mineralization, natural crystal growth, matrix association, and the geological environment represented by the specimen.
The specimen weighs approximately 160 grams and measures 70 x 60 x 40 mm, giving it a substantial presence for display. It is suitable for a mineral collection, emerald display, educational collection, geological study, or as a representative specimen of Pakistani emerald mineralization.
Emerald Mineralization in Natural Matrix
Swat is one of Pakistan's recognized emerald-producing regions and is known for naturally occurring green emerald crystals. Matrix specimens offer collectors the opportunity to see emerald in its natural geological setting rather than only as a loose or faceted gemstone.
In this specimen, the emerald-bearing material remains attached to the surrounding matrix. The natural crystal surfaces, fractures, inclusions, color variations, and matrix textures are part of the specimen's geological character.

For Mineral Collectors
This is a natural specimen rather than a finished jewelry gemstone. The emerald-bearing areas have not been cut or polished, preserving the natural appearance of the crystals and their surrounding matrix.
Natural fractures, inclusions, surface irregularities, variations in crystal size, and differences in color or transparency are expected characteristics of an untreated mineral specimen. These features contribute to its natural geological appearance.
The stated 160 gram weight refers to the complete specimen, including the emerald-bearing material and surrounding matrix. It should not be interpreted as the weight of emerald alone.
