Explore our collection of natural rough gemstones and uncut stones, supplied in their original form before cutting, faceting or polishing. Rough gemstones offer a unique opportunity to see the natural character of gemstone material and are an excellent choice for collectors, lapidaries, jewellery makers and gemstone enthusiasts.
Our Rough Stones collection includes natural gemstone material such as Ruby, Emerald and other varieties, with individual pieces available in different sizes, weights, colours and natural formations. Unlike finished gemstones, rough stones retain their natural shapes, surfaces and geological characteristics, meaning every specimen is individual.
Natural rough gemstones are particularly appealing to collectors who want to see gemstones in a form closer to their original geological state. Natural inclusions, variations in colour, crystal structure and surface texture can all provide an insight into how gemstones form.
For lapidaries and gemstone cutters, rough stones can also provide material for cutting and polishing projects. Depending on the individual characteristics of a piece, rough gemstone material may be suitable for producing a faceted gemstone, cabochon or other polished stone. The potential of each piece will depend on factors including its colour, transparency, inclusions, fractures, crystal structure and the amount of usable material.
Rough gemstones can also be incorporated into creative and bespoke jewellery designs. Some pieces may be suitable for use in their natural form, while others can be cut or polished to create a completely individual gemstone.
Whether you are searching for rough gemstones in the UK, natural uncut stones for a lapidary project or distinctive specimens for your collection, our range provides an opportunity to explore gemstones beyond the traditional polished and faceted form.
