4.85 carats — 5.33 ratti — at Rs. 1,840, about Rs. 379 per carat. The reference is GS-MO-0010. If transparency is what you are after, this is the stone on this page.

The most transparent stone here, measured

Three figures make the case. Black needle coverage reads 28%, the lowest of the thirteen stones we measured. Open, light-passing quartz accounts for 33% of the face, the highest. And brightness measures 124 out of 255, again the highest — this is a genuinely light stone where most of the collection sits between 75 and 101.

In the hand that means large clear windows with bold straight needles crossing them, rather than the dense thicket the 5.85 carat stone shows. You can see through the open areas properly.

Be clear about what "transparent" means here

The quartz is transparent. The stone as a whole is not a clear white gem — black tourmaline needles still cross a quarter of its face, and they are the first thing you see. If you want an unbroken clear stone with no inclusions at all, nothing in this category is that, and we would rather tell you now.

What this is, is a transparent quartz with a bold, open, readable needle pattern. For most people buying Moh-e-Najaf that is the better stone.

Why transparency matters in wear

An open stone changes with the light in a way a dense one cannot. Hold this one up and the clear areas carry light straight through; set it with an open-backed bezel rather than a closed one and it will stay lively on the hand.

Wearing it

Just under 5 carats is a comfortable everyday ring size. Quartz is 7 on the Mohs scale, hard enough for daily wear.

Care

Warm soapy water and a soft brush. No ultrasonic cleaner, and avoid sudden temperature changes.

We have not had this stone tested, so its treatment is recorded as "not tested" rather than untreated, and we hold no documented origin for it. Message +92 308 887 3888 with the reference. The rest of the range is in the Moh-e-Najaf category.

This particular stone

This listing is one natural moh-e-najaf with a weight of 4.85 Carat. Its price is Rs. 1,840 — roughly Rs. 379 for each carat. Treatment: treatment not tested. Quote reference GS-MO-0010 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.
