This 66.8 carat Dur-e-Najaf suits someone who wants a big, clear stone and accepts that it is more a display or collector's piece than a ring stone. It feels solid in the palm, and it works as a large pendant, as the centrepiece of a tasbih-style strand, or simply as a stone to keep loose.

Why the price looks low

Clear quartz is plentiful and is sold on weight and clarity, so even a large piece stays affordable. You are paying for size here, not rarity.

Details and caveats

It is transparent and colourless, and it rates 7 on the Mohs scale. As a family it is not usually treated, but ask us on WhatsApp what we know about this exact stone, quoting AG-000215. An independent lab test is your option if you want one, and Cash on Delivery lets you check it before any money changes hands. Smaller sizes are in the wider Dur-e-Najaf range.

Pay only after the parcel is open and the stone is in your hand; Karachi usually takes 1–2 working days, the rest of Pakistan 2–4, and returns are accepted for 7 days. Our Dur-e-Najaf guide is worth reading.

This particular stone

This listing is one natural dur-e-najaf with a weight of 66.8 Carat. Its price is Rs. 11,250 — roughly Rs. 168 for each carat. Treatment: treatment not tested. Quote reference AG-000215 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. We check every dur-e-najaf for those three points before it is listed, and because you pay on delivery you can look at the stone — or have it tested — before any money changes hands.
