Gemstone paintings – Vietnam’s Gemstone painting craft

        In 1991 – 1992, having heard that in Luc Yen district appeared a type of precious red gemstone – ruby, people on all sides flocked into this area to find and dig, causally a wave of quitting the farm occupation to dig gemstone in the forests around there. These farmers, after digging some stones, brought them to sell in markets setting the first foundation of gemstone trade. Good news has wings, the gemstone market  rapidly attracted people in everywhere to come here to buy goods, especially the businessmen in the neighbor countries such as Thailand. In the heyday, there were hundreds of gemstone stores and crowded commercial avenues set. The Luc Yen gemstone market was also established at that time and continually preserved until now.

        At the same time, in 1990’s, in Chau Binh forest area – Quy Chau district – Nghe An province suddenly appeared a hot trend of digging red stone called ruby after the gossip of that a geologist, in the process of geological investigation, discovered a ruby and sell it with very high price. Like the story in Luc Yen district, in Quy Hop and Quy Chau area, people gathered there to exlpoit gemstone then immediately trade to the merchants. After the tunnel landslide in Ty Chau Binh hill in June, 1991, because dozens of workers died from that accident, the exploitation was restricted by the local government but it has been preserved until now.

        Vietnam’s gemstone branch has been through 30 years of establishment and development. In the early period, a huge quantity of Vietnam gemstones were sold to foreign merchants, especially Thais, with low price due to the government’s non-rigid management and the explorers’ low awareness.
