Super lot of vivid Cornflower Blue to Plum Tanzanian TUNDURU Sapphire Top SELECT Faceting Rough.  This material was sold to us as Tunduru; however, there are a few pieces in here that look likely they are more rightly from Songea. 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.

This is 100% natural material and most stones have nice vivid color. We have seen many sellers selling Tanzanian 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! This is all we have of this material as it was a very small purchase and we are just blowing it out!!! The lot is priced to sell so don't miss out!

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.
