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.

Montana sapphire gravel from the El Dorado Bar of the Missouri River. This bag contains 1 gallons of natural, unwashed, concentrated Montana sapphire gravel from a private claim on the El Dorado bar. The gravel may also contain rubies, garnets, hematite and/or gold. The sapphires found in this area generally range from 1 to 6 carats, but an occasional larger crystal is recovered. If you like rock-hounding, this bag is for you. Like all mining, it's like buying a lottery ticket!

Virgin, unwashed gravel from the Rock Creek sapphire deposit. This material is not from the Gem Mountain commercial mine but from the Potentate Mining Company. This sapphire gravel comes packaged in a 2 gallon sack. The material will contain a lot of clay as well as sticks, pinecones and debris making it very difficult to wash clean. Hopefully your added time and effort will be worth it. Fortunately, when you do get it clean, the Rock Creek sapphires are usually quite gemmy, making them easier to distinguish among the base material. A difficult material to work but tends to produce sapphires that respond well to heat-treating. Complete washing instructions with photo are included to assist you through the process.

Search for tourmaline in our California tourmaline ore. This tourmaline gravel paydirt comes from the mine in Pala, CA. Each bag contains a random scoop of paydirt that may contain lots of fine dirt, mica, ore chunks(rock) and hopefully gemstones. Tourmaline from this area may be pink, green, blue, black or bi-color in needle or pencil shapes as well as bits and pieces. 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.
Keep in mind, it's mining and always a gamble.
