Formerly known as “Ceylon”, Sri Lanka is rich in gem resources and is one of the world’s five largest gem producers. It is known as the “Island of Gems”.

Historically, employees in Sri Lanka’s gems and jade often accounted for 1/3 of the country’s population. The country’s gem resources are rich, diverse, widely distributed, shallow buried, and easy to mine. Gem placer resources are intermittently distributed in a range of 15,000 square kilometers from the center to the south, accounting for about 1/4 of the total land area. The gem-bearing proto-rock here is an ancient metamorphic complex that has been weathered and eroded for a long time and turned into gravel. It was transported by rain and rivers, washed and enriched by natural gravity, forming the current gem placer deposit. There are many types of gems in placer mines, among which are red, sapphire and star red, sapphire, golden green cat’s eye gem and alexandrite. Low- and medium-grade gems include spinel, zircon, tourmaline, garnet, topaz, beryl, quartz cat’s eye and moonstone.

Among the Sri Lankan gem mines, the golden-green cat’s eye gem is the most famous, known as Ceylon (that is, Sri Lanka) cat’s eye. High-quality opal is expensive. The sapphire produced in this country is also well-known in the world. Many large sapphire crystals have been produced and collected by museums in European and American countries. Two thirds of southern Sri Lanka are rich in cyan or colorless sapphires (commonly known as white sapphires). Thai merchants changed the heat treatment of white sapphires into bright sapphires. The price has risen from the original 0.1-0.3 dollars per carat to several hundred per carat. Dollar.

The country has more than 1 million people engaged in the gem industry, including 38,000 technicians. Its gem products are mainly exported to Germany, Britain, Japan, the United States, Switzerland and other countries.

In the Chinese jewelry market, many rubies and tourmalines come from Sri Lanka. You can see Sri Lankan jewellery merchants at the annual jewelry fair.
