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.

Natural Montana sapphires are a form of corundum. They form in every color in Montana, though usually a pale blue or green. Heat-treating is an acceptable form of enhancement and will often turn a pale, cloudy stone into a clean, bright rich colored sapphire. Montana Sapphires in yellows, oranges, pinks and purples are also found but are more rare. Montana sapphires are a 9 on the MOHS hardness scale, making them ideal specimens for jewelry due to their durability.
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.
There is a little room in the box if you’d like to add on extra goodies – like tweezers, a scale or a loupe.
Outside dimensions are 10″ x 9″x 51/4″ and weighs approximately 13 pounds.

This was the first bag I bought. I loved the wooden box and I found quite a few sapphires too. Perfect
for beginners!
