Super HUGE Royal Blue Sapphire Facet Rough from Antan Nigeria! This is one of the largest cleanest pieces of Sapphire to come to us from Nigeria and it is without doubt a breathless piece! The stone overall is ideally shaped for an Emerald or Rectangular cut (We would probably recommend an Oval or Cushion ideally) and we are confident that you will take out an Eye-Clean or better stone from this will little effort. The stone for the most part is a little dark; however, it looks practically eye-clean and is a nice chunky crystal section that will undoubtedly support a high weight return. We are confident that this will lighten up well with proper orientation as the AB axis on this is nice and bright. This is PREMIUM rough and you don't get too many chances to purchase this caliber material as it is usually cut on location. We don't anticipate getting more of this in the near future so DON'T miss this opportunity!

This is one of the best values we currently have up and we are confident that our prices will not be matched on this material as most Nigerians in Nigeria are charging $60+ per gram for 2-3 Gram Sapphire and this is an amazing 23.76 CARATS!

1. Nigeria is currently producing sapphire at three different sites. This material is from Antan and we are hopeful of getting additional material from different locations as the demand for the rough becomes evident. We are currently working with mine holders in Tanzania to acquire some nice East African Sapphire Rough in the the future!
