Chairman's Notes

Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon, is often referred to as the jewel box of the Indian Ocean, and has produced some of the finest star gemstones in existence. Commonly used as talismans to protect against the evil eye, the Sinhalese used star sapphires to ward off witchcraft of all kinds. To others, the crossing of three bands of light represented hope, faith and destiny, and it was believed that these gems would protect travellers from ill health. Flemish mineralogist, Anselmus de Boodt, wrote in 1609 that the Germans revered star sapphires as a siegsten, “victory stone”, and they are still occasionally referred to as this today.
