The Fantasia brand of Sapphire and Ruby premium grade rough you are ordering is 100% natural and imported by the ton directly from India to Fantasia Mining's USA rock yard. This is not facet or gem grade, but it is perfect for cabbing, tumbling, wire wrapping, reiki or keeping in it's natural form as a decorative rock. Many of these pieces will star when cabbed, and your order will contain multiple pieces of this spectacular material of varying sizes which is equal to or greater than the weight purchased. As a premium grade this material has been searched and you will receive material with color although it will not be in every piece. The pieces that do have color will likely be pink sapphire to red ruby with the rare piece of blue sapphire in some orders. There is a significant quality difference between this grade and our mine run sapphire and ruby materials.
If you are looking for blue sapphire the Fantasia brand of Blue Sapphire rough is also available here on Amazon. To see this material you can enter "Fantasia Blue Sapphire" in any Amazon search bar and click on the listing for that product.
VERY IMPORTANT: This is rough natural material which means you are receiving it exactly how it came out of the ground. All pictures were taken with the stones being wet which helps to show the materials true colors and clarity. It may not have the same appearance when dry unless it has been polished, tumbled, or cabbed. If you have any questions about this feel free to contact Fantasia Mining prior to purchase so we can ensure you will be completely satisfied with your order.
