Awesome ULTRA RARE lot of Metallic Red Cuprite Faceting Rough from Africa. We were lucky to snag this lot while going through old stock with a new supplier and we were told that they were holding onto these stones for over 15 years! The color on this is very similar to Rutile that we have offered in the past; however, it is much less metallic and should show its body color much better in finished Gemstones.

We unfortunately don't know the exact origin of this material but from what the seller informed us it is definitely African. Our research seems to have narrowed down the origin to either Namibia or Zaire but we aren't 100% sure on it.

Overall the parcel is running 85%+ High to Top Facet Grade. The stones do have some minor inclusions; however, they are very gemmy and we are confident there is an eye-clean to very slightly included finished stone waiting to come out of each with a little hard work. This is NOT small material with the average size running 9+ Carats!! We don't know if we will ever get to offer any more of this in the future so grab this before someone beats you to it!
