Sawed Clean Rose de France - $0.40/carat to $0.30/carat
Locality: Bolivia, South America

Rose de France chunks

This material has been sawed clean and is really a bargain at this price, almost all of the waste has been cut off. The sizes and shapes vary. The colors are medium/light and this material cuts a very pretty stone. Sizes range from 5 carats to 25 carats plus or minus a little, the average is 10-15 carats. There might be an occasional spot, but this material is clean in general.

Note: Some dealers call this "Medium to Light Color Amethyst" (from Bolivia or Brazil) and charge almost double the price for it than I do... but because it is light I prefer to call it "Rose de France" ... Parcel weights will vary a little depending on the stones...

Large Sawed Clean Rose de France - $.50 to .40/ct
Locality: Bolivia, South America

Rose de France chunks

This material has been sawed clean and is really a bargain at this price, almost all of the waste has been cut off. The sizes and shapes vary. There is not much smaller than 30 carats and a lot of the pieces are over 100 carats, the average piece size is probably 40 to 60 carats at a guess.

The colors are medium/light and this material cuts a very pretty stone. There might be an occasional spot, but this material is clean in general.

Note: Some dealers would call this Amethyst, but because it is light I prefer "Rose de France" ... I like this material in about any design, but am partial to deep checker boards and Barions because the colors are light in saturation. There is a lot of very good cutting for the money here. Parcel weights will vary a little depending on the stones...
