Discover bargain: Sri Lanka Gem City

Hometown Jewelry is a kind of ornamentation, which is affordable to wear what is best. Unfortunately the equivalent of these things too much wealth in the faces of people are always ready to make trouble, so there may be in Sierra Leone, "Blood Diamond. "Fortunately, the longest in the body after the Asian civil war in Sri Lanka, although 90% of the territory of this country are produced in the distribution the parent rock gem (a high degree of crystallization of Precambrian metamorphic rocks), but the LTTE's den - the northern Jaffna peninsula, but Fortunately, there is no mine GEM.

Gemstones such as cabbage

Thus, just as calm as Dasan and beaches, the GEM has also turbulent and bloody acts of Sri Lanka. Because the rocks are widely distributed, and everywhere you can try his luck. Located 64 km south of the capital Colombo, the high mountains of Ratnapura (Ratnapura in Ceylon, the "Rat" is a "jewel" means "couple" is the "city" is thus "Gem City"), we ate the car surprised - many competitors in your hand in front of the hands of the spread of the plot, full of colors, after a gem rough. These stones usually only one or two carats, but whether these hawkers barefoot, is seeking tens of dollars of business.

Sri Lanka GEM mines dating back over 2500 years of history. The bedrock contains precious stones are water washed stones mixed with sand, gravel and clay, the spread in the bed of the river, wetland, farmland, or at the foot of the mountain, usually 1.5 m depth to 18 meters. Mining treasures be divided into three kinds of ways, mainly in the mountains, rock mining, mining precious metal stones larger particles, but the most difficult wells and mines of the river much more common, but after a long River transport of gem cutting, and small.

In the Ratnapura divided into two river bed of the old Carew has given birth to one third of the jewels of this country, but also make greater gemstone mine in Asia. Exclusive Museum of Natural History in New York is currently the world's largest sapphire, weighing 563 carat "Star of India" (Star of India) came from here. The early 80s, he also produced a 362 carat sapphire third in the world, "Sri Lanka Star, as a national treasure, hidden in the Colombo National Museum.

As a gift of sky, the good fortune naturally people a hard time. Although the Ratnapura around the streets, wearing the head or hands Kam Po tube condenser of the people, but the real Jewel is a rare boutique. Local people said that some people have sunk a three to zero, some people dug the first month of 10,000 U.S. dollars worth of goods. Precisely because the harvest dredging totally unexpected gems, each mine has its own sanctuary, the excavation official owners of the mine should go to their temple incense before the prayer, each worker must work underground before the hands together, silent and praying, and even the day of ore screen to select "auspicious."

On a treasure hunt, where there is one I do not know the authenticity of the scripts: One day, a jeweler in the country saw a woman bathing in the river with stones BCIE, 1:00 gaze. Then, whatever verbal abuse, presented the other side is willing to spend lots of money to buy a piece of stone used BCIE. Several rounds, until the $ 135 Fang Cai face. sapphire stone processing value of 16,000 U.S. dollars.

In fact, a story is much more realistic amazing scripts. In 1997, a young girl of 14 years with his father in the mines to help, accidentally dug a 850-carat sapphires, was identified in the market of 200 million dollars. Expression of patriotism in this country was genuine - girls jewelry donated to the National Museum, it was also convened by the President.

In fact, the resources of Sri Lanka gem is unlikely to always maintain the strong momentum in recent years, the Government has conducted a number of rivers and phase control to prohibit the operation of machinery on a large scale. The owners owners, investors, suppliers of machinery for minors to gem mining on them is just a product, they expect nothing, but the final split in partnership, in which the owner can get 20%.

With the large-scale mining and exports recent years, the resources of Sri Lanka gem are consumed. The end of 2008, prices of high-quality sapphire from the beginning of U.S. dollars 400 per carat rose to over 500 U.S. dollars. This has even caused by low quality sapphire in Sri Lanka, Madagascar, after treatment, was done pass for a local export sapphire.
