Since ancient times, Sri Lanka has been famous for its many rare treasures. Christian scripture records that precious stones were transported from Ceylon to King Solomon's court. Sri Lanka means "land of gems" in Sanskrit and is famous for its rich rubies, emeralds, opals and sapphires.

Among the many treasures in Sri Lanka, the beauty of sapphire is unparalleled and the most famous. Sapphire, also known as "sapphire", is called "sapphire" in English, and there are various opinions about its origin. Some people say it comes from Sanskrit "Sauriratna" (the gem of magic jade), while others say it comes from the name of an island in the Arabian Sea-Sapphirine. Sapphire, with its crystal-clear and beautiful color, was covered with mysterious and supernatural colors by the ancients and regarded as an auspicious thing. Sapphire has been one of the top five gems in the world for hundreds of years since it entered people's society, and it is a precious gem.
