Africa is home to the richest remaining source of valuable gemstones on the planet. Treasures of Africa was established to celebrate and educate about these magnificent gemstones found in Africa.
The most iconic gems from each African country are represented at Treasures of Africa, such as the Emeralds from Zambia, renowned for their deep green colour. Rare and valuable red Rubies from Mozambique, as well as the radiant Ethiopian Opals with their magnificent rainbow colours, to name but a few.
The magic of Africa is known only to a special group, those who have walked upon its land and heard it’s tales. For those lucky few, Africa offers sparkling tokens to remember it by. These dazzling and vibrant gemstones tell the origin story of when our planet was created.
Treasures of Africa where the essence of Africa is shared in stone and story.
Billions of years ago the landmasses were all connected as the supercontinent Pangea, and precious minerals were formed deep within the earth. As the continents split into what we know today, so too did the rich seams of these minerals that then travelled across the face of the earth.
Madagascar and Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) were once nestled along the east coast of Africa and share the same geological heritage producing the finest “Ceylon” Sapphires. The west coast of Africa was once joined with South America, and both share the same geology that created the rarest Tourmalines and Emeralds.
The African continent is one of the last remaining sources on earth for valuable gemstones.

Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) famous for Sapphires
was once connected to Madagascar, therefore
the recent discovery in Madagascar comes as no
surprise. Being from the same geology the brilliant
blue and pink “Ceylon” Sapphires of Madagascar
dazzle with intense blues and
rose-coloured pink hues.
