Very clean material with strong pleochroism. Peachy pink with strong orange reflexions, i am not familiar with natural pad saphires but am a sucker for this one for sure !
I am attaching a picture but reminding you that its hard to capture its true color, it looks better in person.
As for the purchasing process, very smooth, quickly sent and faithful to the pictures. I love the millimeter paper pictures which greatly help to appreciate the size of the sample. Hope there will be more of that material to purchase in the future.
Great material, color is stunning
Cut this rough into a trillion. It’s spectacular!
Exactly as advertised. Great specimen, I will get a good amount of finished stones from.
Such a nice piece of lab grown corundum.
Great color, slight inclusions along seed plate, as to be expected with hydrothermal quartz.
Fast delivery, as described, this is a nice blocky piece of very clean synthetic rough. THANK YOU!!
Great color, faithful to the pictures.
I am joining a picture taken in interior with low light.
Just finished cutting it. Great stuff!
It's the perfect color.
Good guy to do business with! Very attentive and great communication. I'll be back for more.
It cuts like a dream and was easy to polish, and I love the shade of blue of this rough! I'm posting a photo of my final cut to show off its hue.
Marvelous color. 114 Djeva is becoming quite rare.
Very fast shipping! Quality exceeded my expectations! Looking forward to future purchases & definitely my goto for gemstone rough!
My absolute favorites are the blue topaz. Been waiting a while to order this.
Found a great seller! Very fast processing the order and getting it to me. The product is exactly as described, well labeled, well packed. I will be ordering from this seller with confidence again and adding to favorites.
My son was thrilled with his ruby boule! It is so beautiful and EXACTLY what he was looking for and picked out. Plus, it's fluorescence is bright 🤩! We appreciated being able to have a selection to choose from. Other sellers had an 'example' of what it would look like, and then the 'actual' product would be randomly selected from stock.
The pre-shipment pic of the package is a nice touch.
The shipping took longer than expected. Our boule was shipped the next day with tracking info posted to my acct. Sadly,sometimes, with USPS, packages take unexpected detours. However, when I messaged about it, the response I received from Tom's Box of Rocks was nearly immediate; along with a realistic suggestion to get the quickest response from USPS.
Thank you for a great specimen, immediate shipping, and attentive customer service. 🤗
Absolutely a smooth and perfect transaction! Will buy from again!
As described. Cut 100% clean

Outstanding quality, price and shipping as usual!
Very pretty but appears orange and not pink/orange.
Great stuff....the rough make very nice stones
Amazing! The quality is very good and as I tried to apply my discount, I had trouble and Tom was all over it for me!
Keep in mind that this material is 'Ceramic' YAG. That means it is somewhat translucent rather than clear for faceting into gems. My use is for stained glass, so transparency is less a factor. It does have a nice fluorescence though.
