Swat is famous for its mines from where emeralds are mined. One of the oldest ones, and quiet famous, is known as the Shamozo mine. Few days ago, I came across large rough specimens from these mines. They were with a seller who wanted to dispose off of gemstones since his father used to deal in it, and now he's dead. Honestly, haven't seen such a large rough emerald specimen from Shamozo mine. If you look carefully (last 2 pictures), the emerald formation goes all the way back to the end of the stone. The 5 pieces in the top pic are above 60 carat
