Pakistan has been gifted with abundant resources of several precious and semi-precious gemstones, at present mostly found in Northern Areas and NWFP, but with a huge future potential in Balochistan. Most important of the currently found stones are emeralds of Mingora (Swat), pink and golden topaz of Katlang (Mardan) and aquamarine of Chitral and Neelam Valley. At present, there is no formal survey available to identify the geological resources of gemstones in the country. Furthermore, due to lack of realization of its importance as an industry, those who are engaged in the mining, cutting/polishing and trading of gemstones in Pakistan have not been able to exploit the full potential of this sector.
