Jagdalek, located in eastern Afghanistan, is renowned for its exceptional rubies. These precious gemstones from the Panjshir Province have gained global recognition for their deep red color and exceptional quality. The region's rugged terrain and harsh climate contribute to the uniqueness of these rubies, as they are formed under intense geological pressure.
Miners in Jagdalek extract these rubies from the Panjshir Valley, known for its mineral-rich deposits. The ruby mines here have been a source of livelihood for the local population for centuries. The gemstones are typically found in marble deposits, requiring skilled miners to extract them with precision. The process involves careful extraction to avoid damaging the precious stones.
The Jagdalek rubies are cherished for their vibrant red hue, often referred to as "pigeon blood red," a term used to describe the most sought-after color in rubies. The intense coloration and high clarity make these gemstones highly desirable for jewelry enthusiasts and collectors alike. The ruby trade significantly contributes to the economic activities of the region.
Over the years, Jagdalek rubies have become a symbol of Afghan heritage and are a source of pride for the local community. However, the gemstone industry in Afghanistan faces challenges, including issues related to infrastructure, security, and market access. Efforts are being made to address these challenges and promote sustainable mining practices.
In conclusion, Jagdalek in Afghanistan stands as a gemstone haven, particularly renowned for its exquisite rubies. The geological conditions and skilled craftsmanship involved in mining contribute to the exceptional quality of these gemstones, making them a coveted choice in the world of jewelry and gemstone collectors.

Tourmaline, derived from the Sinhalese word "turmali," meaning mixed colors, aptly describes its characteristic spectrum. From vivid pinks and greens to deep blues and rich reds, tourmalines exhibit a remarkable range of hues. This gemstone's pleochroism, the ability to display different colors when viewed from different angles, adds to its allure. The most common varieties include Elbaite, Schorl, and Dravite, each distinguished by its unique color palette and mineral composition. Mining locations worldwide yield tourmaline, with notable deposits found in Brazil, Afghanistan, and the United States. The gemstone's popularity surged during the 18th century when it became a coveted choice for European monarchs and aristocracy. Gem cutters approach the shaping of loose tourmaline with precision to maximize its color intensity and brilliance. The cushion, oval, and emerald cuts are popular choices, accentuating the gem's natural beauty. Some collectors prefer untreated stones...Category
