Lovely Lot of Pastel Yellow to Canary Yellow Tanzanian Scapolite Crystal Facet Rough! Most of these stones are a nice medium dark Yellow and unlike the light material that has saturated the market. Roughly 85%+ of this material is high grade facet rough with quite a few nice large stones in here capable of cutting large eye-clean or better finished gems. Please note that quite a few of these stones do have minor inclusions; however, these are typical of Scapolite and many, if not most, of these can be worked around or will facet out to yield eye-clean or better finished gems. These are not small stones and the average weight is about 17+ carats! Most of the stones in here are crystal sections with many stones showing partial terminations. We recently got a shipment of this material in from Tanzania and this is the first lot of this new rough that we are making available. We are working on establishing a regular supply of this rough and have made significant progress in that endeavor. Don't miss this bargain!
