Shigar Morganite

Emerald cut · Shigar

$720

Beside the four families we specialise in, the same parcels bring spinel down from the Hunza valley, morganite out of Shigar in Skardu, moonstone from the Baltistan side, and zircon from around Astore. All four are worked in Pakistan and across the border in Afghanistan, and none of them are lesser stones — Hunza spinel in particular was sold as ruby for centuries before anyone could tell the two apart. They sit here because they arrive in smaller, less predictable quantities than the four families we can promise you every season.
