Price range catalogue Dubai · UAE
Indicative gemstone price ranges.
There is no single official worldwide gemstone price list. This twenty-category catalogue provides broad decision context only; it is not a live quotation, appraisal or investment forecast.
Pricing method
Inspection-led, document-led, transaction-specific.
Rough parcels require representative sampling, weight distribution, recoverable yield and treatment-risk analysis. Polished stones require identity, size, colour, clarity, cut, treatment and marketability review. Exceptional stones may fall outside any broad reference.
| Gemstone | Indicative polished reference | Primary quality drivers | Rough quotation basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| RubyRaw crystalline material · deep red | US$175–21,800+/ct · AED 650–80,000+/ctCommercial to exceptional · quotation after inspection | Prioritise vivid red to slightly purplish red, balanced tone, strong saturation and attractive transparency. Heat, filling and other treatments require clear independent disclosure. | Inspection-based quotation |
| SapphireRaw blue hexagonal crystal | US$100–15,000+/ct · AED 370–55,000+/ctBroad market · colour, origin and treatment sensitive | Hue, tone and saturation lead the review, followed by clarity, cut, size, treatment and origin opinion. Natural, heated, diffused and synthetic material must be clearly separated. | Size, colour & yield quotation |
| EmeraldRaw green hexagonal beryl | US$150–15,000+/ct · AED 550–55,000+/ctCommercial to rare · enhancement disclosure essential | Assess colour, transparency, fissure visibility, cut, carat weight and treatment. Natural inclusions are expected; oil, resin or other enhancement must be disclosed. | Crystal, origin & yield quotation |
| DiamondRaw rough octahedral crystal | US$1,200–22,000+/ct · AED 4,400–81,000+/ctStone-specific · documented and independently graded | Natural, laboratory-grown and treated material must be kept separate and clearly disclosed.

| AmethystRaw purple crystal cluster | US$2–50+/ct · AED 7–185+/ctAccessible to fine · colour saturation led | Deep but lively purple is preferred. Excessive darkness, strong zoning, visible fractures and dull cutting reduce commercial appeal. | Colour & clean-yield quotation |
| CitrineRaw yellow quartz | US$2–40+/ct · AED 7–147+/ctAccessible · colour and clarity dependent | Assess colour evenness, transparency, inclusions and cut. Natural colour and heat-related colour should be represented accurately where determinable. | Clarity & colour quotation |
| AquamarineRaw pale-blue crystal | US$20–1,500+/ct · AED 75–5,500+/ctCommercial to premium · saturation sensitive | Colour intensity is the leading value factor, followed by clarity, cut and size. Pale or greyish material normally trades below saturated blue stones. | Colour, clarity & yield quotation |
| OpalRaw milky iridescent nodule | US$10–10,000+/ct · AED 37–36,700+/ctVery broad · pattern, brightness and stability led | Confirm type, natural or composite construction, stability and any smoke, dye, impregnation or other treatment.

| GarnetRaw deep-red dodecahedral crystal | US$5–5,000+/ct · AED 18–18,400+/ctVariety-specific · broad commercial spread | Use variety-specific criteria and assess hue, tone, saturation, clarity, cut and size. A single generic garnet price is not commercially reliable. | Variety-specific quotation |
| PeridotRaw olive-green olivine | US$20–500+/ct · AED 75–1,835+/ctAccessible to fine · colour purity led | Colour saturation and eye cleanliness lead the assessment. Dark inclusions, excessive yellow-brown tone, windowing and weak polish reduce value. | Size & clean-yield quotation |
| TourmalineRaw pink-and-green crystal | US$20–50,000+/ct · AED 75–183,600+/ctVery broad · variety and colour sensitive | Colour is paramount, followed by clarity, cut and size.
