سال 1979ع ۾، پاڪستان ۾ قيمتي پٿرن جي شعبي کي ترقي ڏيڻ لاءِ جيمز اسٽونز ڪارپوريشن آف پاڪستان قائم ڪئي وئي هئي، پر سال 1997ع ۾ ڪارپوريشن ختم ٿي وئي. هاڻي هن شعبي ۾ ڪيتريون ئي تنظيمون ڪم ڪري رهيون آهن جن ۾ آل پاڪستان ڪمرشل ايڪسپورٽرز ايسوسيئيشن آف رف اينڊ ان پالشڊ پريشس اينڊ سيمي پريشس اسٽونز (APCEA) ۽ پاڪستان جيمز اينڊ جيولري ڊولپمينٽ ڪمپني (PGJDC) شامل آهن. پاڪستان جيمز اينڊ منرل شو سال 1994ع کان هر سال پشاور ۾ منعقد ڪيو ويندو آهي؛ جڏهن ته، ان کي امڪاني بين الاقوامي خريد ڪندڙن کان گهڻو ڌيان نه مليو آهي. جيمز

پاڪستان جي حڪومت پاڪستان ۾ قيمتي پٿر جي واپار کي فروغ ڏيڻ لاءِ پاڪستان جي وڏن شهرن ۾ قيمتي پٿر جي سڃاڻپ ليبارٽريون قائم ڪيون آهن. هن مقصد لاءِ، پاڪستان جيمز اينڊ جيولري ڊولپمينٽ ڪمپني لاهور، ڪراچي، پشاور، ڪوئيٽا، گلگت، مظفر آباد ۽ سرگوڌا شهرن ۾ ڪم ڪري رهي آهي جتي قيمتي پٿر جي واپار جو وڏو حصو موجود آهي. پاڪستان جيمز اينڊ جيولري ڊولپمينٽ ڪمپني جي شروعات کان وٺي، پاڪستان ۾ قيمتي پٿر جي واپار ۾ وڏي ترقي ڏسڻ ۾ آئي آهي.
لاهور، ڪراچي ۽ پشاور ۾ قيمتي پٿر جي سڃاڻپ جون ڪجهه خانگي ليبارٽريون پڻ آهن، جنهن جي ليبارٽرين ۾ قابليت وارا جواهريءَ جا ماهر ڪم ڪري رهيا آهن.
