Hold this stone up to a window and you almost forget it is there. That is exactly what people love about Dur-e-Najaf. A clear quartz of 25.9 carats looks like a piece of frozen water with crisp edges, and its glassy look is the quality buyers praise.

It is a hefty piece, and its price follows the weight rather than any rarity. It measures 7 on the Mohs scale, so ordinary dust will not scratch it, although a fall onto a tiled floor could still chip an edge.

Pakistani buyers know it as Dur-e-Najaf, and by tradition it is worn for its link with purity and with the city of Najaf. We share that as tradition, not as a promised outcome. This kind of stone is usually left as nature formed it, but ask us on WhatsApp about this exact one. If you want independent lab testing, that is your call.

This particular stone

This listing is one natural dur-e-najaf with a weight of 25.9 Carat. Its price is Rs. 3,750 — roughly Rs. 145 for each carat. Origin: Pakistan. Treatment: treatment not tested. Quote reference AG-000209 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.

Above twelve carats you are into collector territory. Pieces this heavy are usually set as pendants or kept loose, and they are prized for the size of rough they came from. If you do set it, choose a bezel or a heavy claw to protect the edges.

On the Mohs scale dur-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 dur-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.
