About Mine & Minerals

The Jigdalak ruby mine has been known to the local people since ancient times. Historical evidence indicates that the Jigdalak ruby mine in Surobi district was utilized as far back as 700 years ago. For instance, in the year 1200 AD, Mohammaduddin, a gem trader, sold beautiful ruby crystals to Kublai Khan and other notable historical figures. At that time, traders could not distinguish between rubies and spinels. Over the past hundred years, this mine has been studied by various geologists, including Gresbach, Badoni, Berlow, Hayden, Epler, Abdullah Khan, Drab, Chersky, and others. Unfortunately, very little published or unpublished material from these geologists has reached us.
