Awesome Rare Lilac/Violet to a light Siberian Purple Mine Run Scapolite Faceting & Cabbing 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! We are selling this by the kilo. This material is running roughly 10%+ Mixed Facet Grade with most stones have minor inclusions and/or fractures; however, we are confident this is one of our best bargains. The remaining 90% is predominantly Cabbing Grade; however, many of the stones do have very gemmy areas and we are confident that the lot has considerably more Faceting Rough potential.

The color on this material is not 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 have a very limited stock of this and we are confident it will sell out quick! 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.
