ICA Ambassador to Sri Lanka, Altaf Iqbal, informs us that the President of Sri Lanka, President Maithripala Sirisena, has stepped in to protect the Sri Lankan gem industry from foreign gem mining companies, as reported in the Sunday Times, Sri Lanka, September 4, 2016.
div
Iqbal noted that "allowing large scale foreign mining in Sri Lanka could affect up to 600,000 miners, lapidarists, brokers, wholesalers, jew
div
"As you know, traditional mining methods used in Sri Lanka are very sustainable, small scale operations, with strict green mining methods," notes Iqbal. "Large scale mining, such as the 'Mozambique ruby' operation, could flood the market with over supply. The 'rarity factor' would be seriously affected, if this should happen."

Authority Chairman Sanjeewa Welagedara told the Sunday Times that at a meeting with the President on Friday, representatives of the gem industry handed over a detailed report warning about the potential dangers of foreign companies getting involved in the industry.
