About Classic Gems

Classic Gems is a specialty mining operations company located in Taita-Taveta county in South-Eastern Kenya. The company, set up in 1997, has carved a niche for Tsavorite, a naturally occurring gemstone known for its rarity and unusual green colour zoning with a vitreous finish. Tsavorite is one of the most expensive garnets in the world and is 100% conflict-free.

Classic Gems has redefined mining in the region with the use of 3D modeling using modern mine planning with underground surveying and academic research on the genesis of Tsavorite. The company has a local and international market for the rare stone which is one of the most sought after gemstones in the world.

The company has been operating at the highest level and has been recognized by peers and the State Department of Petroleum and Mining as the most professional and technologically advanced in the area.
