DESCRIPTION:The island of Sri Lanka\, also known as Ratna Dipa (Island of 
 Gems)\, boasts a legacy as a premier source of precious stones for quite a
  number of millennia\, with roughly 25% of its landmass potentially gem-be
 aring. The colourful and most durable stones feature a visible\, bustling 
 artisanal mining sector as well as high-stakes trading\, however\, with in
 creasing shares of internationally sourced material. The "invisible" invol
 ves deep mysteries\, complex geological and gemmological features\, and la
 st but not least the emotional attraction of these materials\, including t
 he dark sides of wealth and power\, some as old as humanity\, others with 
 notable changes over time. Insights into human aspects of gemstones are pr
 ovided\, as well as into chemical and physical characteristics of the gene
 sis and the presence of gemstones in a unique spot on earth.
