By Peter Grummit
Blue sapphires were first discovered 35 km north of Kanchanaburi about eighty years ago and the town of Bo Ploi, which in English translates into ‘Gem Mine’, was established. In the late seventies sapphires were also discovered further north at Ban Chong Dan. Industrial open cast mining began in the mid eighties with the arrival of modern mining techniques along with improvements in
heat treatment technology.
