10.74 carats — 11.80 ratti — at Rs. 6,450, about Rs. 601 per carat. The reference is GS-JD-0013.

The strongest colour in the collection bar one

Saturation measures 84%, the second-highest reading of any stone here, and brightness 91 out of 255 — so the green is both deep and intense rather than bright and thin. That combination is what people mean by a rich colour, and it is the single quality that most affects how a green stone looks once it is set.

Its lightness varies across the face by 39 points, a moderate and natural amount of variation. The stone is also the most elongated in the collection, measuring 1.52 times as wide as it is tall, which gives it a long, generous rectangle face-up.

What "premium" means here

It means the best colour among the stones on this page, measured rather than asserted. It does not mean a laboratory has graded it — nothing in this collection has been tested, and we are not going to imply otherwise. If an independent identification matters to you, we can arrange one; ask before you buy, and the 7-day return stands either way.

Wearing it

Nearly 11 carats in a long step cut is a bold ring stone or a substantial pendant. The elongated shape lies well along a finger and reads larger than its weight suggests, because a flat step cut spreads its size face-up rather than down into a pavilion.

Care

Warm water and a soft cloth. No ultrasonic cleaner, no hot water, and keep it away from bleach and household cleaners.

Its treatment is recorded as "not tested" rather than untreated, and no origin is documented for it. Message +92 308 887 3888 with the reference for testing or more photographs. The rest of the collection is in the jade category.

Cash on Delivery is available across Pakistan, so you inspect the stone before paying, and returns are accepted within 7 days of delivery.

This particular stone

This listing is one natural jade, known in Urdu as Yashab, with a weight of 10.74 Carat. Its price is Rs. 6,450 — roughly Rs. 601 for each carat. Treatment: treatment not tested. Quote reference GS-JD-0013 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.

From six carats up a stone becomes the centre of attention. It wants a broader shank or a secure claw setting and suits an occasion ring, a signet or a centre pendant. Clean natural material of this size turns up far less often, and the per-carat rate reflects that.

On the Mohs scale jade rates 6 to 7. That is middle-of-the-road hardness: comfortable in pendants and earrings, and in rings worn with some care. Store it apart from harder stones so it does not pick up scratches, and wipe it with a damp cloth rather than scrubbing.

Whoever you buy jade 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 jade 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.

We sell natural stones only and inspect each one before it is listed. Treatment for this stone: Treatment not tested. Certificate available on request.
