Inquire SpecsThe Heritage of Ratnapura & Alluvial Mining
Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) is nicknamed Rathnadeepa—"The Island of Gems". For over 2,500 years, ethical traditional mining techniques have preserved gem deposits in alluvial riverbeds and ancient gravels.
Unlike heavy industrial open-pit mining, Sri Lankan gem extraction utilizes sustainable shaft mining and hand washing to protect local ecosystems while uncovering world-renowned untreated gems.
