Gemstones from Sri Lanka (Ceylon)

Sri Lanka has been a source of precious gemstones for over 2,500 years, making it one of the oldest continuously mined gem localities on earth. The island's unique geology — a complex metamorphic terrain — produces an exceptional variety of gem species in a single location: sapphires in every colour, rubies, spinels, alexandrites, cat's eyes, garnets, and more.

Ceylon sapphires — particularly the medium cornflower-blue specimens — are among the most recognised and beloved in the world. The island is also famous for producing padparadscha sapphires, the exceptionally rare pink-orange variety found in Sri Lanka and almost nowhere else.

Sri Lankan Gem Varieties

  • Blue Sapphire: the classic "Ceylon blue" — medium, vivid, and highly sought after.
  • Padparadscha Sapphire: the island's most prized gem; delicate pink-orange.
  • Alexandrite: exceptional colour-change specimens found in the Ratnapura district.
  • Spinel: vivid reds and pinks from alluvial deposits.
  • Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl: Sri Lanka produces the world's finest cat's eye stones.
