  2. UNDERSTANDINGGEMSTONES “Nature’s brilliance at its artistic best” Gemstones are undeniably the most beautiful creations of the mother Earth. Let us understand some precious and semi-precious gemstones and their mining.

  3. MINING Gemstones develop in large group of occurrences. Gemstone mining companies find the original locations of these occurrences, which is known as primary deposits. The secondary deposits are the gems which are found when they have been transported by wind, rain and flowing water. The deposits created by water are known as marine deposits, Aeolian by air and fluvial deposits by river. The distribution of gemstones is quite irregular and the yield is generally low.

  4. MINING METHODS • Gemstone mining is not an easy process, its complex, tedious and time-consuming. Different countries use different methods of mining. Its also depends heavily on the type of gemstone and deposits found. • The process of finding the deposits is a task in itself. Highly systematic and technical systems are used therefore mining is generally quite costly. • There are two types of mining : Surface Mining, Underground Mining

  5. SURFACE MINING • The stones are extracted from the surface of the land. • Different methods involved in surface mining are : • River Panning • Hydraulic Mining • Open Pit Mining • Mountain Top Removal Mining • Quarrying

  6. UNDERGROUND MINING • When enough results are not found during surface mining, then underground mining methods are applied. • These methods are generally used in case of precious gemstones. • Borehole Mining • Shaft Mining • Drift Mining • Hard Rock Mining • Slope Mining

  7. PRECIOUS GEMSTONES • These are Diamond, Ruby, Sapphires and Emeralds. • These stones are famous since time immemorial and are highly valued and priced. • As they are rare and highly priced, they are known as precious.

  8. SEMI-PRECIOUS GEMSTONE • Semi-precious stones are gaining a lot of importance and highly used in jewellery making. Jewellery manufactures in India and across the world are increasingly including these glittering beauties in their jewellery • Some of them are: • Amethyst • Citrine • Peridot • Jade • Opal • Aquamarine • Topaz
