Malawi

Gemstones found in Malawi are principally ruby, sapphire, aquamarine, beryl, garnet, amethyst, and rose quartz. Gemstones are mainly mined in the Chimwadzulu Hill in the South-Central part of the country and Mzimba to the North bordering Zambia.

The country is also required to invest in the value addition of its gemstones and the creation of a jewelry-making industry to realize greater economic contribution from the sector.
