Amazing value and service! Ordered a gorgeous peridot stone assisted by great customer service. Even my jeweler in NYC was impressed with the stone. Now set into a gold ring. Compliments galore. Thanks for an awesome product and prompt expert advice!

We ordered a emerald from Gandhara… We ordered a emerald from Gandhara Gemstones a couple of weeks ago. The pictures shown in the site, were exactly what we received. At the time of purchase we made backup pictures of the stone. Then used digital scopes to compare inclusions. Emeralds are about 400 times rarer than diamonds, but yield similar characteristics. Diamonds are 10 on Mohs scale, emeralds typically are 7. But that's still hard enough to verify facets, edges using lights and the reflective surfaces on the stone. Our stone had the proper reflective surfaces. There was no zebra inclusions or bubbles, typically found on fake stones. I believe we worked with Farooq? They stay on top of the orders.

Excellent specimens Excellent specimens, very clear photos, responds to requests quickly. Specimens names and origins are listed....great selection of high end top quality mineral. A joy to look through what he has to offer.

Beautiful aqua. Beautiful stone. Fair price. Well packaged. Arrived in the expected time. (It's a quirk of international shipping that they gather larger lots to bulk ship, so it might feel slow, but I promise it's the most efficient way.) Will definitely shop here again. One of my best experiences buying a loose stone.

Satisfied Customer Shipping was quick. Gem stones are beautiful and qauilty is as described. Look forward ordering more.
