OUR SAPPHIRES
Since 2022, we have been sourcing our sapphires from the Fura Mozambique mines. The vibrant pink hues of these sapphires are a hallmark of Garaude’s signature collections, often showcased in layouts.
We source our green and yellow sapphires from Australia through Fura Auctions. The only mine with legal rights in Australia to mine these rare gems. Since 2023, we’ve been investing in Australian sapphires to strengthen our position as a leading supplier of traceable and ethical gemstones. From vibrant yellow to teal and stunning greenish-yellow sapphires, these unique stones are a new offering to the market. We admire their exceptional colors and see their growing value in the world of gemstones.
ORIGIN
FURA acquires the Australian sapphire mines, Capricorn Sapphire and Great Northern Mining. FURA has been building global recognition for the natural beauty of exotic blue, teal, green, yellow and multi-hued ‘parti’ sapphires. It wants to clean up and rebuild the market, while boosting the interests of Queensland and its people. FURA has 100% ownership in Great Northern Mining and Capricorn Sapphire Mine. These open-pit mines currently produce close to 6 million carats of sapphires every year across varied colours, including blue, teal, green, yellow and multi-hued ‘parti’. Our mines have minimum15-year life of mine and the ongoing resource evaluation work further indicates existence of additional resource. We deploy state-of-the-art technology for planning, execution, and monitoring of these mines to achieve socially, economically, and environmentally responsible operations which are contributing to almost 80% of the sapphire production from Australia today. Since 2021, FURA is actively working on marketing of Australian Sapphires with an intent to regain their lost glory on the global platform.
