{"product_id":"160-grams-swat-emerald-specimen","title":"Natural Swat Emerald Specimen on Matrix – 160 Grams","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNatural Swat Emerald Specimen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe specimen weighs approximately 160 grams and measures 70 x 60 x 40 mm, giving it a substantial presence for display.
