What makes CGA gemstones special?
Sri Lankan gemstones stand out for several reasons, making them special and highly seek after in the global market.
Diversity of Gemstones
Sri Lanka is one of the few places in the world with an extensive variety of gemstones, including:
- Sapphires: Particularly famous for blue sapphires, Sri Lanka is also home to the rare and unique Padparadscha sapphire, known for its pinkish-orange hue.
- Rubies: While less abundant than sapphires, Sri Lanka rubies are admired for their deep color.
- Alexandrite, cat’s eye chrysoberyl, garnets, moonstones, tourmalines, topaz and many other precious and semi-precious stones are also mined.
High Quality
Sri Lankan gemstones are known for their exceptional clarity and luster, especially Ceylon Sapphire, which are famous for their vibrant color and brilliance. This clarity and the high refractive index make them visually stunning.
Rare and Unique Varieties
- Padparadscha Sapphire: This rare pinkish-orange sapphire is considered one of the most valuable and unique gemstones in the world.
- Star Sapphire: Sri Lanka is known for producing high-quality star sapphires, which display asterism, a star-shaped pattern of light across the surface when cut as cabochons.
- Cat’s Eye Chrysoberyl: Known for its distinct “eye” effect, these gems are prized for their rarity and optical phenomena.
Rich Historical and Cultural Significance
Sri Lanka’s gems have been linked to royalty, legends and myths for millennia. Ancient kings, queens, and religious leaders adorned themselves with these gemstones. Famous historical gems, such as the Blue Belle of Asia (a Sri Lankan sapphire) and the Logan Sapphire (now in the Smithsonian Institution), have boosted the global prestige of Sri Lankan stones.
Sustainable and Ethical Mining Practices
Sri Lanka has implemented ethical and sustainable mining practices in many religious, making it a leader in responsible gem sourcing. Mining is largely done in small, family-run operations, which focus on minimizing environmental impact.
Natural, Untreated Stones
Many Sri Lankan gemstones are prized because they are often sold in their natural state, without heat treatment or artificial enhancements. Buyers seeking natural stones find Sri Lanka to be a trusted source.
Geological Advantage
This island’s unique geological composition, with its Precambrian rock formations, creates the perfect conditions for the formation of a wide range of gemstones. This geological richness, combined with alluvial deposits, ensures a steady supply of high-quality gems.
International Recognition
Sri Lanka has earned global recognition as a top source of fine gemstones, particularly sapphires. Many iconic gems, such as the Royal Bule Sapphire in princes Diana’s engagement ring, originated in Sri Lanka.
These factors combine to make Sri Lankan gemstones some of the most valuable, desired, and historically significant in the world.
