Known as the &#8220;Jewel Box of the Indian Ocean&#8221;, an incredible 25 percent of Sri Lanka&#8217;s land area is potentially gem bearing. Geographically, the island of Sri Lanka is divided into the Wanni Complex, the Highland Complex and the Vijayan complex. <i>It is in the central Highland Complex, stretching through the centre of this nation and rolling down towards the south that most of the precious gem mining happens<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>The Highland Complex has metamorphic, sedimentary and magmatic deposits. Sedimentary gem deposits are the most important of all gem deposits in Sri Lanka. The sedimentary placer gem deposits (these are relatively shallow deposits) occur in thin layers of gravel and sand, termed locally as <i>Illam <\/i>in alluvial plains and even in hilly areas. <i>Illam<\/i> is a Tamil word meaning &#8220;dwelling place&#8221; and in this context it turns out to the dwelling place of the gems.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gemstoneuniverse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/photo-21.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-9226\" alt=\"photo 2(1)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemstoneuniverse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/photo-21.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemstoneuniverse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/photo-21.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemstoneuniverse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/photo-21-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sri Lanka is home to some 75-80 different coloured gemstones!
