The largest single natural corundum as a single crystal (blue sapphire) in the world has been found in Sri Lanka, the National Gem and Jewellery Authority (NGJA) announced yesterday (12).
With a weight of around 310 kg (1.550,000 carats), it has been named as the “Queen of Asia”.
The Authority said the gemstone had been discovered in the Batugedara area and that it belongs to Gemological Institute and Research (Pvt.) Ltd.
The “Queen of Asia” is currently located in Horana and was displayed to the media for the first time yesterday.
In July this year, BBC quoted Sri Lankan authorities as stating that the world’s largest star sapphire cluster was found in Sri Lanka by a gem trader. He said the stone was found by workmen digging a well in his home in the Ratnapura area.
