Sri Lankan sapphires have an important place in the world's gemstone kingdom.

In addition to sapphire, Sri Lanka also has tourmaline, cat's eye, spinel, topaz, garnet, amethyst, moonstone and other precious colored gemstones. There are also star sapphires, rubies, emeralds, cat's eyes, aquamarines, zircons, and opals, among others.

Gemstones from this part of Sri Lanka are not only produced in an astonishing amount but also of surprisingly high quality. The world's richest gem deposits have been built for thousands of years and are now firmly at the heart of South Asia's gemological industry.
