Bahria Town Lahore, on the south-western edge of the city, is one of Lahore's largest planned communities, and for many residents the city's older jewellery bazaars are a long drive away. The simplest route to a genuine, natural stone is often a WhatsApp message. GemStore, based in Gulberg, sends individually photographed natural stones to every sector of Bahria Town by insured, tracked courier, with Cash on Delivery.
Ordering on WhatsApp, step by step
- Message +92 308 887 3888 with the stone you want, the approximate size and your budget, or a photo of your astrologer's written recommendation.
- We reply with options: photographs and weights of matching stones from current stock, each one an individual natural stone.
- Ask anything. Treatment, origin where known, per-carat rate, whether a certificate is available.
- Confirm your choice and your address.
- We dispatch from Gulberg within 1-2 working days; the courier delivers within about 7 working days.
- Pay on delivery, after opening the parcel and inspecting the stone.

Stones for devotion, tradition and family
- Aqeeq and dur-e-najaf, traditionally worn as ring stones in Islamic custom.
- Feroza, traditionally worn for protection. Each listing states whether the stone is natural or stabilised.
- Neelam, pukhraj, yaqoot and zamurd, the four most requested astrological stones.
- Moti (pearl) and garnet for gifts and family jewellery.
Beliefs about stones are traditions, and we present them that way. The gemstones by rashi guide explains the traditional pairings, and the gemstone names page helps with Urdu and English names.
Is your dur-e-najaf genuine?
Natural dur-e-najaf is clear quartz. It should look like rock crystal, sometimes with tiny natural inclusions, and should not show the round gas bubbles typical of glass. Aqeeq imitations are usually dyed chalcedony with flat, very bright colour. Our real vs fake gemstones guide shows what to look for.
Why buy from a gem specialist
A gold shop's main business is gold. A gemstone seller's main business is the stone, and that changes what you are told:
- Every GemStore stone is natural, and we inspect each one before it is listed.
- Known treatments, such as heating or oiling, are disclosed.
- Each stone is priced individually; the per-carat rate is the price divided by the carat weight.
- A certificate of authenticity is available on request, and independent lab testing can be arranged. See our authenticity page.
