Frequently Asked Questions

What is the black quartz stone price in Pakistan for this 16.96ct size?

Pricing depends on carat weight, origin clarity, and polish symmetry. Larger untreated cabochons over fifteen carats fetch higher rates per carat than smaller pieces because rough stones this clean are harder to find.

Is Siah Durr e Najaf in 16.96ct too heavy for a daily ring?

Not at all. While sixteen carats offers substantial presence, a skilled silversmith can craft a comfortable bezel setting that distributes the weight evenly on your finger.

How do I know this specimen isn't synthetic black onyx?

Onyx is completely opaque. When you hold this natural quartz up to a flashlight, soft light filters through the edges, proving its authentic crystal lattice structure.
