DESCRIPTION:

Super lot of vivid Peacock Purple to Steel Blue Tanzanian Songea Sapphire Faceting Rough.  This is an awesome lot of mostly alluvial rough with the bulk of the stones looking eye-clean or better. Most stones are nice and chunky capable of supporting above average weight returns. This material is very glassy and even though the average weight is about 1 carat I'm confident you will get some dazzling stones out of here. There may be some color changers here but no guarantees as we haven't checked for them but have had clients comment on receiving such mixed in with similar parcels in the past. Please note that this is 100% natural material and most stones have a nice vivid color. We have seen many sellers selling Tanzanian Songea Sapphire such as this and charging an arm & a leg and/or selling light colors advising that the stones are capable of being treated - THAT IS NOT THE CASE WITH THIS! - These stones are JUST perfect the way they are! We have a VERY limited amount of this material in stock!!! The lot is priced to sell so don't miss out!

COOL FACTS:
  1. Tanzania is a hot spot for Sapphire Rough; however, over the last few years many dealers for Tanzanian Mine Direct rough have been shooting their prices up through the roof. This increase has largely been unwarranted in the smaller sizes of sapphire which are readily available in Tanzania at reasonable prices. We are working towards establishing links that will guarantee us a stable supply of Tanzanian Sapphire Rough at a REASONABLE price in a variety of sizes! Shop around and you will see how reasonable our prices really are.
