Awesome Rare Lilac/Violet to a light Siberian Purple Scapolite Faceting Rough Lot from Tanzania. There really isn't too much of this produced in nature and we were lucky enough to get this parcel at a great price! Most of this material is EXTREMELY clean with the bulk looking like it should easily yield eye-clean to flawless finished gemstone. The color on this isn't a Dark Purple but that Perfect Medium Purple for the most part. Most of the Purple Scapolite you are likely to encounter in the market is usually treated; however, even that is rare these days. Natural Purple Scapolite is generally much smaller in size than Yellow Scapolite commonly available from Tanzania. We got this lot at a steal and are passing the savings on to you!

1. Yellow Scapolite turns a nice Purple and Lavender once Irradiated in a cobalt 60 unit at 400-500 Megarads. Post and Prior heating lightens color saturation.
