Unraveling the Enigma of Ancient Natural Sapphire Mukkaru Beads: A Glimpse into Sri Lanka’s Gem Industry History

Discover the fascinating tale behind the Ancient Natural Sapphire Mukkaru Beads, hailing from the historic lands of Sri Lanka. With a total weight of 7.46 Ct and a captivating array of colors including very light blue, bi-color, and white, these beads offer a glimpse into a bygone era of gemstone craftsmanship.

Crafted by the skilled hands of the Mukkaru people, an ancient race that migrated to Sri Lanka during the reign of ancient kings, these beads are a testament to their expertise in gemstone mining and trading. The Mukkaru, revered as gem specialists, meticulously polished the hardest stones, such as Sapphire with a Mohs hardness of 9, using traditional techniques involving kabarondum dust. They then skillfully drilled these stones to fashion exquisite necklaces and jewelry pieces.

Originating from the Galpaya “Mukkaru” Deposit Mining site in Sri Lanka, these beads hold a rich history dating back 700-1000 years. Despite being included in clarity, their allure lies in their historical significance and the craftsmanship of the Mukkaru people.

Today, as we revisit the mining sites once frequented by the Mukkaru, we unearth gems that were once abandoned or undervalued. Stones like spinel and garnet, once considered of little worth, have now ascended to become highly sought-after treasures, fetching premium prices in the market.

Through the lens of history, we gain a deeper appreciation for the journey of these Ancient Natural Sapphire Mukkaru Beads, each one a relic of a vibrant and illustrious past.
