Regional Mining History
 The ruby and sapphire mines of the
Chantaburi, Trat and Pailin district, one of the
world’s pre-eminent producing regions,
generated many tens of millions of carats of
high quality gems mainly sourced from
alluvials, and to a lesser degree, from eluvial,
weathered bedrock deposits.
