Purchase gemstones in Pakistan

Natural gemstones are found in nature and if you look for gem stones in Pakistan, make sure and ask the jewelry shop in Pakistan that all gemstones have not been created and produced in a laboratory. These stones, which also are referred to as laboratory-grown, or synthetic, have essentially the same chemical, physical and visual properties as natural gemstones. Laboratory- created stones, sold in Pakistan do not have the rarity of naturally colored stones and they are less expensive than naturally mined stones.

By contrast, imitation stones look like natural stones in appearance only, and may be glass, plastic, or less costly stones. Laboratory-created and imitation stones should be clearly identified as such. If you bought labratory-created stones in Pakistan but the jewelry shop in Pakistan has not informed you that they sold you synthetic gemstones, you should file as soon as possible a complain with the Tourism Authority in Pakistan and as well with the Consumer Protection agency in Pakistan.

Jewelers in Pakistan should tell you whether the gemstone you're considering has been treated, when the treatment is not permanent; the treated gemstone requires special care; or the treatment significantly affects the value of the gemstone as heating can lighten, darken or change the color of some gems, or improve a gemstone's clarity. link
