About

My journey begins where the air is thin and the mountains touch the sky: the remote, high-altitude mining areas of Sumjam and the Zanskar Range in Kashmir. With 35 years of experience navigating the global gemstone market, my work is defined by a singular focus: the legendary, exhausted mines of Kashmir. I am a Rare Stone Sorcerer and Hunter, a title earned by achieving the impossible: sourcing stones from a mine that has effectively ceased to exist, and I travel to these roots to maintain my connection to the source.
My expertise is rooted in a unique blend of heritage and global commerce, honed over three and a half decades. My work is a constant quest to unearth the few remaining treasures from this impossible source, a quest that often takes me back to the high mountain passes of the source area, connecting them to the most discerning collectors, investors, and top designers in the world. I operate in the rarefied air where geology meets high finance, where a single stone can be both a piece of history and a secure, appreciating asset.
I specialize in the impossible: stones of unprecedented size, color, and provenance—the kind that have been kept entirely off-market. My network is my greatest asset, built on trust and discretion, granting me access to the most significant private collections and the most influential buyers globally.
Beyond the stone itself, my passion lies at the intersection of high fashion and travel. I see each gem as a narrative, a piece of portable history that will ultimately be transformed by a master designer or become the centerpiece of a collector's legacy. This vision allows me to not only source the finest gems but to understand their ultimate destiny in the world of luxury.
I do not simply sell stones; I curate legacies. My mission is to ensure that these geological monuments find their rightful place in the hands of those who appreciate their true, immeasurable value.
