This market serves a wide range of buyers and sellers from Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Iran who deal with locally mined gemstones from Azad Jammu and Kashmir, and parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan (figure 1). Fifty years ago, no one could have imagined it becoming a primary trading center for rough and faceted gemstones in Pakistan. The authors led an excursion to Namak Mandi to document its transformation into a gem trading hub and to understand the variety of gemstones and commerce taking place in the market. Namak Mandi is the largest market in Pakistan for trading rough gemstones (figures 2 and 3). There is no record of exactly when it made the quantum leap from salt market to becoming pioneering trading hub for gemstones. With the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the influx of millions of Afghan refugees into Pakistan turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Within Pakistan, merchants from Swat Valley (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) traded emerald (figure 4C), while those from the region brought aquamarine (figure 4D), and pink topaz came from Katlang, a township in the Mardan District (figure 4E). Many inhabitants of different regions of Pakistan also moved to Peshawar for the gemstone trade. These included Chitral, Skardu, Swat, Karachi, Rawalpindi, and Islamabad. In interviews with experienced tradesmen, it became clear that because there was no legal framework for extracting, processing, and trading of gemstones, the officials likened it to the narcotics trade. In a move to somewhat formalize the trade and, perhaps, to check the Afghan monopoly, local traders led a move to register their businesses with the All Pakistan Commercial Exporters Association (APCEA), established in 1984. The APCEA also organizes an international gemstone exhibition each year in the capital city of Islamabad. The gemstone business in Namak Mandi and in Pakistan as a whole can be categorized into three main groups of dealers:. Within Pakistan, nephrite mostly comes from the Mohmand region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (figure 1). Colored gemstones have no recognized pricing mechanism. Third, gemstones coming for auction from Afghanistan are dealt with in a different way. Nonetheless, the practice of buying shares in an unseen lot of gemstones at auction has become a mainstream practice at Namak Mandi. Finally, traders tend to be inconspicuous about their inventory, not displaying gemstones and closing the curtains once customers enter their stores. These questionable business practices seem to reflect a persistent notion that government bureaucracies in Pakistan do not function to serve the masses. That is, a state agency or department did not direct or advise them how to effectively and smoothly import and export gemstones: It was the business acumen of a few entrepreneurs that led to the custom of registering one’s firm with the APCEA. Regardless of the ethical norms regarding price setting, largest auctions take place in Namak Mandi, and the highest bids are often placed by local merchants. They import many stones into Pakistan and export them to other countries. Such sellers mostly deal in rough gems: The high-quality samples often go to the international market, while the medium- to low-quality material is sold locally at Namak Mandi or elsewhere in Pakistan. He has two sources for collecting gemstones: the mine owner and the miners themselves. While the process is most traders doing business outside Pakistan recut the stones in Thailand, Sri Lanka, or China to increase their value in the international market. At the time, this was a niche marketing strategy for exporting gemstones from Pakistan to the rest of the world, but it enabled them to gain repeat and long-term customers. First, eBay accounts are usually linked to the most popular payment system, PayPal, which does not operate in Pakistan. Second, rogue traders tend to generate negative perceptions of the Pakistani gemstone market. They create Facebook accounts, attracting buyers with flowery language, and then sell them gemstones for above-market price or defraud their customers by providing the wrong stones altogether. Finally, Pakistani women are starting to buy and sell gemstones online, which could be a game changer. gem trade in general and Namak Mandi, in particular, is a male-dominated marketplace. Many are brokers: They arrange deals between traders in Pakistan and buyers who are based locally or globally. The exchange of rough and faceted stones, mineral specimens, and ornamental stones has turned it into a pioneer gemstone market in Pakistan. These primarily include: (1) occasionally duping the customers with low-quality gemstones and (2) charging exorbitant prices for the merchandise. Similarly, the lack and non-acceptance of modern faceting facilities potentially hinder Namak Mandi’s traders from firmly finding a niche in or competing with regional gemstones centers in Thailand, China, India, or Sri Lanka. He is also a lecturer at the Gems & Jewellery Centre of Excellence (GJCoE), University of Engineering & Technology (UET) in Peshawar, Pakistan.

The potential of Pakistan’s gemstone industry is huge when it comes to adding to the country’s economy.

The out-dated mining techniques damage the gemstones considerably. According to All Pakistan Labour Federation, Balochistan, the number of mining deaths has gone up in recent years, from 120 deaths on average a year to 172 between July 2017-2018. Value addition is of utmost importance when it comes to adding to the economy via gemstones exports. Strategic interventions are very much needed to increase the export value of  gemstones and related products. Pakistan can certainly bring a large amount of foreign exchange by developing its gemstone industry. Gemstones are widely appreciated worldwide not just because of their beauty but also their healing properties. Found abundantly in the country in different colours, shapes, and sizes; their demand is high not only in Pakistan but also other countries. Due to this reason, Pakistan can earn huge foreign exchange by exporting these gemstones. Gemstones are extracted, transported, processed, and refined in set-ups of varying scales in the country. Balochistan, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have rich reserves of gemstones for both local and international markets. Some of the types of gemstones found in the country are termed the world’s best due to their unique features and excellent quality. Due to high demand, if investment is made in the processing department, the gemstones may certainly be promoted at way higher prices. Dynamites are still being used for extraction of gemstones in the country due to which a big percentage of  raw products gets damaged. The development of the sector will certainly have a significant impact on the economy of the country when it comes to job creation, promoting and increasing the exports of gemstones.
