Tunduru River Rainbow Gems is a super cool mix of multiple gemstones that come from Africa.
This 1 gallon bag of gem gravel will have you searching for garnets, sapphires, rubies, spinels, chrysoberyl and zircon. These are not huge gems but some will be big enough to cut a small finished gemstone. They can also be kept as a collection where you can admire the fantastic colors. We had purchased this gem mix about 10 years ago and have searched for it ever since. Thankfully, we were finally able to get more of this colorful, gemmy material to share with you.

Search for tourmaline in this California tourmaline ore. This material is from the tourmaline mine in Pala, CA. This ore may contain bits of pink, green, blue, black or bi-color tourmaline in needle or pencil shapes. You'll want to look over every piece of quartz for embedded tourmaline pieces. Keep a close eye for pinks and purples. The purples are usually a type of mica called lepidolite - nice for collecting but not worth much. Also be on the look out for quartz, apatite, morganite, clevelandite, calcite, feldspar, topaz, spessartine garnet, aquamarine, and kunzite. This is a rich area and produces many different gemstones.
The gravel consists of a lot of fine dirt, sand and ore chunks (rocks). We randomly scoop up each bag so we have no way to know what each bag may contain. Please understand mining is a gamble. You may find nice facet grade material or nice mineral specimens, but you may not find anything cool at all. Due to the abundance of gems found in this area, we hope you'll find something that makes your time worthwhile.

Natural El Dorado sapphire paydirt from Helena, Montana. This gravel is not mine-run, nothing has been washed out of the material, only the large rocks screened out. Pulled from the pay-layer, this paydirt runs rich in Montana sapphire with a chance at a gold flake or two! This "lottery ticket" packaged in a rustic wood box should put a smile on the face of the treasure-hunter in your life. Keep the sturdy wooden box to house your mining tools or other treasures afterwards.
The box is made of natural wood with metal hinges. The sapphire gravel comes in a burlap sack that is also reusable. Mining instructions and photo are included to help walk you through the mining process.
