was checking out some specs. that i have had laying around..was looking at this chepo swat emerald on matrix and realized that the host rock looks very similar to the host rock from the crabtree emerald mine in north carolina..it's an uncanny resemblence..figured(once again..i always be figuring) i would post them both
First just a junkie swat? emerald in host..didn't even know it was here..was digging through a bunch of them from an old order and must have missed this one..nothing good
Now here is host rock from Swat and from Crabtree
here is just from swat?
here is just from crabtree

is "swat" a location? mine name? i've heard of crab tree before, but not swat, ammydude! anyway, i'm not surprised of what you may find in your mineral collection, but, i must say, nice discovery!! lol, looks like you have so many specimens, that you may be having quite a time keeping up with where they came from. kinda like ubergod and the gems he keeps hidden under his mattress.

Swat is a Kashmir lookalike region in Pakistan , it has several emerald mines which are presently mostly out of production due to taliban push in the region and the resultant successful military operation. The fighting has moved away from this place but has left ugly scars on a beautiful face.
Hopefully coming summer shall see renewed mining activity .
