Moh-e-najaf is the name many Pakistani buyers use for quartz that holds fine needle-like inclusions, and it is often linked in tradition with Najaf and with religious practice. Those associations are a matter of belief and custom, and we mention them only as background to the name.

This stone weighs 3.5 carats and costs Rs. 1,310, about Rs. 374 per carat. Because it is quartz, its hardness is 7 on the Mohs scale, which is a good level for rings. The inclusions are part of the stone's character, not flaws to be removed.

At a compact weight like this, it suits a slim silver band or a small pendant. If you would like a custom silver ring setting made, we can discuss it on WhatsApp at +92 308 887 3888.

The family is usually not treated, and we will tell you what we know about this exact stone if you ask, quoting GS-MO-0001. See other pieces in the moh-e-najaf category, or read how to tell real from fake.

This particular stone

This listing is one natural moh-e-najaf with a weight of 3.5 Carat. Its price is Rs. 1,310 — roughly Rs. 374 for each carat. Origin: Pakistan. Treatment: treatment not tested. Quote reference GS-MO-0001 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.

Between two and six carats is the range most people choose for a gents' ring or a noticeable pendant. Here colour drives the price more than size does, which is why two stones of near-identical weight can be priced very differently.

On the Mohs scale moh-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 moh-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 moh-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.
