Here is a 97.5 carat piece of Dur-e-Najaf, a very large clear quartz, offered as one loose stone. Some buyers ask us the following questions about stones of this size.

Can I wear something this big?

Not in an ordinary ring. At nearly a hundred carats it is more suited to display, handling, or a large pendant. Hardness is 7 on the Mohs scale, which is sturdy, but keep it away from hard floors.

Why is the rate per carat so low?

The price is Rs. 8,250, about Rs. 85 per carat. Clear quartz is plentiful, and large pieces are priced by weight at a gentle rate. It is a natural stone, not a rare one.

Has it been treated?

Dur-e-Najaf is usually left as it comes. Message us on WhatsApp quoting GS-000216 and we will tell you what we know about this exact stone. A certificate or independent lab testing can be arranged on request. The Dur-e-Najaf collection has smaller options.

This particular stone

This listing is one natural dur-e-najaf with a weight of 97.5 Carat. Its price is Rs. 8,250 — roughly Rs. 85 for each carat. Treatment: treatment not tested. Quote reference GS-000216 when you message us about it. The photographs show this exact stone, so what arrives at your door is the piece you chose on screen.

Above twelve carats you are into collector territory. Pieces this heavy are usually set as pendants or kept loose, and they are prized for the size of rough they came from. If you do set it, choose a bezel or a heavy claw to protect the edges.

On the Mohs scale dur-e-najaf rates 7. It handles daily wear, but a hard knock can still nick an exposed corner, so a protective setting is a sensible choice. Clean it with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and keep it away from abrasive cleaners and high heat.

Whoever you buy dur-e-najaf from, make sure of three things: the stone is natural rather than lab-grown, glass or glass-filled; any treatment is stated in writing; and the weight quoted is the weight of the finished stone. We check every dur-e-najaf for those three points before it is listed, a certificate is available on request, and because you pay on delivery you can look at the stone — or have it tested — before any money changes hands.
