Sri Lanka has been known for its rich gem-bearing deposits for over 2,000 years. The traditional method of mining gemstones in Sri Lanka has remained largely unchanged, involving manual labor and artisanal methods to ensure minimal impact on the environment. This ancient process, combined with modern techniques, allows Sri Lanka to remain one of the world’s leading sources of gemstones.
In Sri Lanka, gem mining often takes place in alluvial deposits, where miners manually sift through the soil to extract precious stones. This process is labor-intensive and requires a great deal of skill, as miners search for gems hidden deep in the earth, often using simple tools like shovels and sieves.
While traditional methods continue to play a vital role, modern technology has been incorporated
into the mining process to improve efficiency and reduce environmental damage. Today, machines
are used in some areas to aid in the extraction process, ensuring a balance between tradition
and progress.

Use a soft cloth and a gentle cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the stone. A mild soap solution and warm water are often the safest option.
Store your gemstones in a soft cloth bag or a jewelry box to avoid scratches and other damage. Keep them away from other hard materials to prevent chipping.
