This 16.90 ct mixed alluvial facet grade rough parcel includes 13 natural unheated stones, mainly sapphires, with one 0.84 ct orangy-pink spinel, sourced from Kalawana, Nivithigala, and Pelmadulla villages around mining in Sri Lanka. With an average size of around 1.30 ct, and the sapphire pieces all above 1 ct except for the small spinel, this parcel presents a useful range of color and structure for cutters who study rough carefully before planning any transformation.
What makes this parcel interesting is the combination of natural Sri Lankan alluvial character with visible variation in color, shape, and internal openness. In material like this, each stone must be assessed individually for orientation, depth, and possible yield. Some pieces may suit smaller calibrated results, while others may offer more flexibility depending on internal balance and natural structure. At Danushka Gems & Minings, parcels like this are appreciated for their source authenticity, natural condition, and the real cutting decisions they invite from the earliest stage.
