DESCRIPTION:

Spectacular Lot of Electric Hot Pink to Steel Blue Spinel Faceting Rough from Morogoro, Tanzania. Overall, the lot looks to be running roughly 60%+ High to Top Facet Grade with the bulk of the remaining 40% being silky lacking excessive fractures and/or inclusions. The silky material is ideal for cabbing and may even be good for faceting with a little marketing. This material is from a primary deposit and you may see a crystal or two in here as a result. The bulk of these are nice and chunky crystal sections shaped for high yield and we are confident you will take out some spectacular finished stones from here! This is ideal material for overseas cutting!!

Spinel production in Tanzania is DOWN! The Tunduru mines are practically dry at the surface and any material unearthed from mechanized mining is kept by the mine owners who are generally foreigners. Morogoro material is virtually non existent in sizes over a gram in attractive colors generally commanding prices that are unrealistic. For the price on this parcel you really can't lose!
