Sapphire Mining is a lot easier today than is was 100 years ago. We dig the dirt for you, screen it to remove the big rocks, and bring it to the store by the dump truck load. We supply all of the tools and equipment needed for you to wash the gravel to find rough sapphires.
Our professional staff will evaluate your rough saphires to determine which ones are gem quality and worth cutting to create finished gemstones.
Heat Treating improves the color and clarity of most sapphires. We own and operate our own heat treating furnaces and specialize in heat treating Gem Mountain Sapphires.
Faceting (cutting) creates a beautiful finished gemstone suitable for jewelry. We facet over 20,000 gemstones a year.
Don't want to play in the dirt and wash gravel? We have a nice selection of loose cut stones and finished jewelry.
