Mozambique Ruby
Gemfields Authorized Auction Partner
STARLANKA is an authorized partner of Gemfields, sourcing exceptional Mozambique rubies direct from the source. Every stone we supply is ethically sourced from licensed mines and merchants — bringing you rubies of remarkable colour and provenance.
About Gemfields
Gemfields is a London-based, multinational gemstone company that, since 2011, has ensured the responsible and ethical mining of Mozambique rubies in Montepuez. Their inaugural auction in Singapore in 2014 generated approximately US$33.5 million, firmly establishing the African region's prominence in the global gemstone market.
Rubies Direct from the Source
The rubies sourced through Gemfields are direct from the source and, notably, unheated — preserving their natural beauty. A significant deposit was discovered in 2009 in northern Mozambique's Montepuez region — among the largest ruby deposits found in history. Before Gemfields began operations there in 2011, the area faced substantial illegal mining and black-market activity; today it stands as a benchmark for transparency and responsible sourcing.
Our Role
STARLANKA works exclusively with Gemfields for Mozambique ruby transactions — buying, distributing, and selling, particularly through their auctions. We place orders bi-annually (in June and December) to maintain our inventory, so that collectors and designers can source unheated Mozambique rubies of the finest quality, including coveted “Pigeon's Blood” specimens.
