Great lot of super glassy Aquamarine from either Afghanistan or Pakistan (I would think Pakistan). Most of this material is a Pale Blue to White and eye-clean to very slightly included. There is an occasional stone that is slightly included; however, they are a very small percentage of the lot. This material was faceted in Pakistan and is composed of Oval cut stones. We got this lot at a great discount and are passing on the savings to you. Don't miss out on this lot. Please refer to the US dime in the picture for size estimates.

For those interested in purchasing a smaller quantity I would be happy to break this lot up into 100 carat lots (Blind pours); however, the per carat price would go up to $1.00 per carat.

1. Cutting rates in Peshawar, Pakistan are dependent on the type of material being cut. This is true for both Faceting and/or Cabbing charges. In addition, there are cutters who charge higher rates because of their superior work product whereas there are others who cut such a large volume of stones that there isn't much attention paid to every stone. Current faceting rates in Peshawar for material similar to this run from $.25-$1.00 per carat. The higher end of the cost is usually for custom cut stones in larger sizes.
