The value of gems is based on rarity, and to qualify as a gem,
the stone has to have beautiful clarity and hardness than can resist scratching.
Gems can come in different colours such as blue,
pink, purple, yellow, and orange,
that are often the bases for gemstones names,
and can even come with crystals meanings.
As a stone of value,
a gem is cut and polished to serve as ornaments in jewellery,
among others, and is usually made of minerals.
Many gemstones are minerals with a unique crystal structure.
These gemstones can be formed when minerals,
under heat and pressure,
are fused together through movement of tectonic plates.
Gems are mineral crystal pieces that are cut to assume a shape.
that will suit the intended jewellery piece.
Gemstones can be transparent, opaque or translucent.
Sri Lanka contains a critical area of the Gondwana supercontinent that was assembled,
millions of years ago between 550 to 950 million years ago.
Most of the commercially important gem varieties of Sri Lanka can be found in the areas,
of Rathnapura, Balangoda, and Elahera.
Mining activities carried out in these gem bearing areas very rarely
fall under large scale mining operations.

sapphire stones are also available in other colours such as pink, violet,
purple, green, orange, and white. Known as Ceylon Sapphire,
