Gems can be extracted from pits in alluvial fields, open trenches in hillsides, excavations of limestone caves, and tunnels in host rock. Sapphires are found in quantity in only a few localities in the region, but they can be enormous – cut gems of over 100 carats have been known to have been found. https://www.simplysapphires.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/606.mp4
