Gemstones in Bahria Town Karachi

Bahria Town Karachi sits out along the Super Highway, a long drive from Saddar's jewellery lanes or the malls of Clifton. For many residents, the easiest way to get a genuine natural stone is a WhatsApp message. Authentic Gems is based in Karachi and sends individually photographed natural stones to every precinct of Bahria Town by insured, tracked courier, usually within 1 to 2 working days, with Cash on Delivery.

Ordering on WhatsApp, step by step

1. Message us on WhatsApp (the number is on our contact page) with the stone you want, roughly what size and your budget, or a photo of your astrologer's written recommendation.
2. We send options: photos and weights of matching stones from current stock, each one an individual natural stone.
3. Ask us anything. Treatment, origin where known, per-carat rate, whether a certificate is available.
4. Confirm the stone and your precinct, street and house number.
5. We dispatch within 1 working day, and the courier usually delivers within 1 to 2 working days.
6. Pay on delivery, after opening the parcel and looking at the stone.

Stones for faith, tradition and family

• Aqeeq and dur-e-najaf, worn as ring stones by long Islamic custom.
• Feroza, worn for protection by tradition. Each listing says whether the stone is natural or stabilised.
• Neelam, pukhraj, yaqoot and zamurd, the four astrological stones people ask for most.
• Moti (pearl) and garnet for gifts and family jewellery.

Beliefs about stones are traditions, and we present them that way. The gemstones by rashi guide explains the traditional pairings, and the gemstone names page helps with Urdu and English names.

Is your dur-e-najaf genuine?

Natural dur-e-najaf is clear quartz. It should look like rock crystal, sometimes with tiny natural inclusions, and should never show the round gas bubbles typical of glass. Fake aqeeq is usually dyed chalcedony with flat, very bright colour. Our real vs fake gemstones guide shows what to look for.

Why buy from a gem specialist

A gold shop's main business is gold. A gemstone seller's main business is the stone, and that changes what you get told:

• Every stone we sell is natural, and we inspect each one before listing it.
• Known treatments, such as heating or oiling, are disclosed.
• Each stone has its own price; the per-carat rate is the price divided by the carat weight.
• A certificate of authenticity is available on request, and independent lab testing can be arranged. See our authenticity page.
