报告内容简介：
Sri Lanka is well known for its wide variety of gem minerals for over 2500 years. Gem discoveries in India, Madagascar, Tanzania, Mozambique etc share common geological origin with respect to the high-grade metamorphism at continental collision zone in the Gondwana, highlighting occurrences of good quality corundum, spinel, topaz, zircon, aquamarine, amethyst, gem varieties of quartz, tourmaline, chrysoberyl, zircon, beryl, garnet, sphene, topaz etc. Geologists have found similar gem minerals in eastern Antarctica, confirming the presence of a Pan-African mineral belt (originated at about 550 million years ago) from east Africa through India-Sri Lanka to Antarctica. The similarity of the geological features of these gem-bearing lithologies has been attracted internationally by both geologists and gemmologists.
Nearly all the gem formations are located in the central high-grade metamorphic terrain of the Highland Complex geological unit in Sri Lanka. The gem deposits are classified as sedimentary, metamorphic, and magmatic; the sedimentary types being the most abundant. Nearly all the gem deposits of Sri Lanka are derived from the granulite facies metamorphic rocks of the Highland Complex, clearly indicating that there were high-temperature petrological conditions (>600 °C) suitable for the formation of gemstones. Overall, the source rocks of the gem minerals are skarns, marbles, pegmatites, garnetiferous and charnockitic gneisses.
2500多年来，斯里兰卡以其丰富多样的宝石矿物而闻名。斯里兰卡与印度、马达加斯加、坦桑尼亚和莫桑比克等地的宝石矿床一样，其成因都跟冈瓦纳大陆碰撞带的高级变质作用有着密切的关系，这些地区均分布有优质刚玉、尖晶石、黄玉、锆石、海蓝宝石、紫水晶、石英、电气石、金绿宝石、锆石、绿柱石、石榴石、榍石、黄玉等宝石品种。地质学家在东南极洲发现了类似的宝石矿物，证实了从东非经印度-斯里兰卡到南极洲的泛非宝石成矿带（起源于约5.5亿年前）的存在。这些含宝石岩性地质特征的相似性在国际上受到地质学家和宝石学家的广泛关注。
斯里兰卡的宝石地层几乎都位于其中部高地杂岩地体中。宝石矿床分为沉积型、变质型和岩浆型；沉积类型最为丰富。斯里兰卡几乎所有的宝石矿床都来源于高地杂岩的麻粒岩相变质岩，这表明该地质单元存在适合宝石形成的高温高压条件（>600°C）。总体而言，宝石矿物的源岩为矽卡岩、大理岩、伟晶岩、含石榴石以及紫苏花岗质片麻岩。
