Are Pakistani emeralds natural and untreated?

How does a Pakistani emerald compare to Colombian or Zambian emeralds?
Chitral Pakistan emeralds vs Colombian emeralds differ in hue — Pakistani stones typically show a cooler, slightly bluish-green with strong chromium fluorescence, making Pakistani origin emeralds a distinctive and rarer alternative on the international gem market.
