DESCRIPTION:

Super Cornflower Blue to Peacock Purple Tanzanian Umba Sapphire Faceting & Cabbing Rough Lot. Just look at those colors! Umba Sapphires are some of the most sought 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.

The parcel is running roughly 50% Good Facet Grade with the bulk of the remainder being Cabbing Rough and possibly some additional Faceting Rough that needs to be Sawed and/or Cobbed out. There are several exceptional stones in the parcel that will cut up to about 2 carats at the eye-clean to slightly included level with a little hard work and some planning. Clean 1 Gram Stones can fetch over $500 Per Gram IN Tanzania and this lot is a no brainer at our price!

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 only have one additional parcel of this listed on the current E-Newsletter and once it is gone you will regret not grabbing it when you had the chance! 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.
