Sri Lanka is a famous gold emerald producing area and the only country producing metamorphic and golden-green cat eyes. The country's gold emerald deposit is located 60 kilometers southeast of Kandy City and has a mining history of more than 2,000 years. It is a large comprehensive sand mine.

Native gold emeralds are prolific in intertwined emerald-clouds interspersed with ultrabasic rocks, which geologists call gas-forming hydrothermal deposits. Like many emeralds, all gold emeralds and emeralds tend to grow. together. After the formation of the original gold emerald, it will become a sand mine after being weathered and denuded, and it will be integrated into the mine at a certain favorable position. The famous Sri Lankan cat's eye and metamorphic stone are produced in the sand mine. The original gold emerald is also produced in the pegmatite vein, which is the result of the action of molten volatile components.
