DESCRIPTION:

Super vivid electric Cornflower Blue to Peacock Purple Tanzanian Umba Sapphire Top Cabbing Rough Lot. Just look at those colors! Umba sapphires are some of the most saught after because of their electric colors and their color-change. Many of the stones in here do show a color-shift depending on the light source and these are definitely some of the most electric NATURAL colors available in sapphire. Please note that 1 stone in the parcel looks like it is a Zircon.

This lot is being sold as Cabbing rough and has been priced accordingly; however, this is some of the best Sapphire cabbing rough you are likely to encounter. We have seen many facet this quality in Sapphire as it is very gemmy; however, it is being sold as cabbing rough and you should purchase it as such! A few stones do have some faceting potential and those should be considered a bonus in your decision to purchase the lot! Most stones are nice and chunky capable of supporting above average weight returns and we are confident you will get some dazzling stones out of here. We have a VERY limited amount of this material in stock!!! The lot is priced to sell so don't miss out!

COOL FACTS:
  1. During our recent trip to Tanzania we were informed that there was an outbreak of violence at the Umba Sapphire mines and that at least one person had been killed bringing most mining to a halt. I'm confident that mining has since been restarted; however, production is nowhere near what it once was and prices continue to escalate.
