Gemstone Guides: Learn Before You Buy پتھروں کے بارے میں جانیں

Buying your first stone? Begin with the basics. Our authenticity guides cover the simple checks that tell a natural stone apart from glass, dyed material and lab-made copies, and our list of Urdu and English stone names is handy when a seller uses a name you have never heard. The gemstone origins guide explains what labels like Swat, Ceylon and Nishapuri can tell you and where they fall short, and the ring size guide shows you how to measure your finger at home.

If you are interested in traditional stones, the Islamic gemstones guide covers aqeeq, Dur-e-Najaf and feroza, while our birthstone and zodiac pages go through the stones tied to each month and star sign. Whenever a guide talks about beliefs, we describe them as tradition and never as a promise.
