    THE HISTORY OF GEMS IN CEYLON (SRI LANKA)
    Sri Lanka’s Ceylon gem industry has a very long and colorful history. Sri Lanka was affectionately known as Ratna-Dweepa which means Gem Island. The name is a reflection of its natural wealth. Marco Polo wrote that the island had the best sapphires, topazes, amethysts, and other gems in the world.
