Absolutely massive piece of faceting rough to practice with, good quality as well. Tom's Box of Rocks is easily the best place to get faceting rough out there right now
Thanks for being so accommodating and patient with me and my Alexandrite customer.
I have the rough now and it is cut exactly like I requested. I will follow up with a gemstone photo when I have it cut.
I would like to take advantage of the 25% discount with another piece of rough exactly the Same as this order. However I am leaving Arizona and my machine for South Dakota summer time. Won’t be back to Arizona until October. Hope you could give me the discount then.
Thanks for the beginning of a nice friendship.

Great material! Easy to cut.
Wow the size is much larger than I expected! It will be a while before I start to facet this. I’ll have to get a small trim saw for some of this as I will not want to cut every one as a single very large stone. They all have great clarity and color.
Great lap case. Love the custom titling. Cases are sturdy and accurate. Willing to work with you on size and color. Fantastic communication from start to finish.
Looking forward to turning these into sparkling gems
I enjoyed cutting my first sapphire from this. the color came out briliant.
Large and flawless lumogarnet. I look forward to cutting this stone in the future, it is ideal for a large single die, and if I am careful about how I design it, I will have plenty of extra material for smaller cuts.
X-Cubes look great, can't wait to cut them! Always great service with Tom!
Great product with fast shipping
This material cuts so nicely
The colors are amazing
Material looks great
Will follow up with a picture of a finished gem from this wonderful material. First gemstones out of this fantastic material
Material looks fantastic will follow up with a picture of the gem when finished
Very fine color more on the green side. It is hard to capture faithfully, but that material will cut me few very beautiful stones.
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.
