The Land of Gemstones – Pakistan

When people see the natural beauty of the various landscapes and get entranced by it, they think that there can be nothing more spectacular than these picturesque views.

However, nature proves them wrong. Beneath these landscapes, lies a completely different world that encompasses beauty in a rare form. This hidden world is full of the natural extravaganza that is essential for human life. Among these various natural resources, there are gems and stones which are not only used as ornaments but have other purposes as well. Pakistan is among those few countries that are also rich in natural resources which are not only rare but exquisite as well.

To provide a glimpse of the various gems and stones that are hidden beneath the surface, Guestkor Pakistan brings you insights. Emerald The green colored gem, with hues of yellow and blue, entrances offer exquisite beauty. The best-known emeralds, which are in a transparent, sea-green color, are mostly extracted in Mingora which is the largest city in Swat District.

Emeralds deposits are also found in the Northern Areas of Pakistan. Topaz Topaz is famous for the different colors that can be seen in different crystal directions.

Aquamarine deposits can be found in the Shigar Valley, Chitral, Kaghan and Neelum Valley. Ruby The red colored stone is very popular when it comes to its usage in the ornaments.

As the deposits of ruby are found in a rugged land, it is quite difficult to mine it. Hunza Valley is home to the largest ruby deposits in Pakistan. After Burma, the only region in the world to produce ‘Blood Red’ ruby is the Hunza Valley. The ruby belt in Hunza Valley stretches over an area of 100 kilometers.
