Gemstones Available for Supply
Zambia hosts a wide variety of commercially valuable gemstones. These stones are supplied based on availability, quality requirements, and buyer specifications.

Emeralds remain the most sought-after gemstone from Zambia. However, diamonds and other stones are also supplied for specific commercial orders.
Emeralds from Zambia, Quality and Market Demand
Zambian emeralds are known for their deep green colour, durability, and clarity. Because of these qualities, they are widely used in high-end jewelry and gemstone trading markets.
Why Buyers Choose Zambian Emeralds
- Strong colour saturation

Rough vs Polished Gemstones
Gemstones are supplied either in rough or polished form. The choice depends on the buyer’s business model.
Rough Gemstones
