Sapphire Gravel
Our Sapphire Gravel Buckets cost $20 each and come straight from the mine. We dig up the dirt, run it through a vibrating screen wash plant to remove the big rocks and clay to concentrate the dirt and bring it to the store by the dump truck load. We supply all of the tools and equipment needed for you to find rough sapphires. The gravel is 100% natural and you have the exact same odds of finding that large, high value, gemstone as we do at the mine.
Everyone finds sapphires. But because the gravel is a natural product there is no guarantee of the size, quantity or quality of rough sapphires you will find. Some buckets will only have a few stones, others will have more. If you are lucky, your bucket will have a large (3+ carat) gem quality rough stone worth hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars.
The Sapphire Gravel is sold by the bucket. Buckets cost $20. Each two gallon bucket contains 20 to 25 pounds of sapphire gravel. If you purchase six buckets for $120.00 we'll give you one for free: hence the Lucky Seven. Our Dirty Dozen deal is even better. Purchase ten buckets for $200.00 and get two free. (Lucky Seven and Dirty Dozen must be purchased at one time. No "add on" sales of additional buckets to "work up" to free buckets). We supply all of the tools and equipment needed and have a great staff to help you out.
Remember, there is no guarantee, but most of the buckets average 12 to 14 carats of rough sapphire per bucket. Some days the gravel is better, some days it is worse.
Plan on spending about two hours to wash a gravel bucket and have your rough sapphires evaluated to determine if they are gem quality.
Miners Pail -- If you are short on time, or want a smaller cleaner package, the Miners Pail is guranteed to contain at least 15 carats of rough sapphire. We use the natural sapphire gravel and salt it with fun to find rough sapphires. This is a great entertainment product for kids of all ages. The miners pail weighs about three pounds and costs $25.00. We can ship up to four Miners Pails in one box for the same $12 S/H.
Mega Jug -- The best deal going! Like a Lucky Seven in a Jug. The Mega Jug contains a over 100 carats of rough sapphire. It is not uncommon for the Mega Jug to contain several other good sized cuttable rough sapphires. The Mega Jug weighs 10 to 12 pounds (about one gallon of gravel) and costs $129.00.
