Welcome to Ruby International’s Tunduru/Muhuhesi project, nestled in the gemstone-rich region of Ruvuma. Here, amidst the stunning landscapes near the Selous Game Reserve, we unearth some of nature’s most exquisite treasures. Our seasonal mining operation spans three to four months per year, carefully timed to coincide with the region’s dry season after heavy rainfall recedes.

At Tunduru/Muhuhesi, we specialize in mining the finest Blue and Yellow Sapphires, rare Alexandrites, vibrant Green Garnets, mesmerizing Tsavorites, and captivating Tourmalines. These precious gemstones are naturally washed down from nearby hills, reflecting the unique geological richness of the area.

Our approach combines expertise in mining and environmental stewardship, ensuring sustainable practices that respect the local ecosystem. Despite the challenges posed by seasonal flooding, our team navigates with precision to extract gemstones of exceptional quality.

At the Tunduru/Muhuhesi project, we don’t just extract minerals; we harvest the artistry of the earth under the watchful eyes of the majestic wildlife that roams nearby. This is Ruby International’s commitment: to bring forth the splendor of Tunduru’s gemstones while preserving the natural beauty and balance of this extraordinary ecosystem. Discover the essence of our seasonal mining approach in this diverse gemstone region, where every gem tells a story of resilience, beauty, and the harmonious coexistence of man and nature.
