About Us
FURA Gems is the only company in the world to mine all three precious colored gemstones: exquisite emeralds from an ancient mine hidden in the jungles of Colombia, stunning sapphires sourced from Australia’s rugged Outback, and richly-coloured rubies unearthed in Mozambique’s northern highlands.
Mining all three precious colored gemstones means that FURA is the premiere consistent and reliable emerald, ruby and sapphire supplier for gemstone cutters, dealers, jewelry manufacturers and retailers around the world.
FURA is proud to be a responsible supplier, the industry leader in benefiting both its employees and the communities it is located in. The company is transforming the role of a mining company by championing transparency and principled operations for all its projects while bringing sustainable mining and sophisticated marketing to the global gemstone market.
FURA not only protects the environment surrounding its mines with enlightened water management and waste recycling, the company also reforests and reclaims the land after mining. With chain of custody tracing, consumers can know exactly where their emeralds, rubies, and sapphires come from and be sure that they have been responsibly sourced.
FURA is also breaking new ground in marketing and customer support by launching the FURA Marketing Council, the world’s first global colored gemstone marketing council.

FURA is inspired by an ancient Colombian legend: Tena and Fura were husband and wife, deeply devoted to each other, until an act of explosive passion divided the couple forever. As Fura wept, her tears became emeralds, preserving her love for eternity.
