What Moh-e-Najaf is
Moh-e-Najaf is a quartz — the same family as dur-e-najaf, typically with fine needle or hair-like inclusions that give it its name. It sits at 7, and the colour runs colourless to smoky, transparent, often with visible internal "hair" inclusions.
Associated with the Najaf region of Iraq in tradition; most market material is quartz from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Brazil.

How to tell real Moh-e-Najaf from an imitation
- Real quartz is cool to the touch and stays cool; glass warms up in the hand within seconds.
- Under a loupe natural stones show fine needle inclusions, veils or growth features; glass shows round bubbles and swirl lines.
- Quartz is doubly refractive — facet edges double when viewed at an angle — while glass is singly refractive and never doubles.
- At hardness 7 it resists a steel point. Glass, at around 5.5, marks.
Treatment to ask about before you pay
Natural quartz is usually untreated. Glass and synthetic quartz are the common substitutes rather than treated stones. Ask the seller directly what has been done to the stone, and get the answer in writing on anything expensive. A report from an independent gemmological laboratory is the only way to be certain, and it names the species, the weight and any treatment.
Who wears Moh-e-Najaf
Moh-e-Najaf and dur-e-najaf are worn in silver rings in Shia tradition in particular, and are valued for their clarity and their association with Najaf. These are religious and cultural traditions rather than tested properties.
Looking after it
Hard and stable. Warm soapy water and a soft brush; avoid sharp knocks on stones with large internal veils.

Common questions
What is the difference between moh-e-najaf and dur-e-najaf?
Both are quartz from the same tradition. Dur-e-najaf is prized for being completely clear and clean, while moh-e-najaf typically shows fine hair-like inclusions — moh means hair.
Is moh-e-najaf actually from Najaf?
The name is traditional. Quartz is mined in many places, and most stones sold under the name today come from Pakistan, Afghanistan or Brazil rather than Iraq.
How do I know it is not glass?
Check that it stays cool in the hand, look for doubled facet edges and natural inclusions under a loupe, and confirm it is not scratched by a steel point.
Is it expensive?
No. Quartz is abundant, so price follows clarity, cut and size, and most ring-sized stones are affordable.
