Other Projects
Sri Lanka's mystical forests and mountains are home to the finest sapphires in the world. The island owes its wealth in gemstones to one of the geologically oldest landscapes on earth.
The Ceylon Mining Cooperation has specialised in the art of extracting this wealth in a sustainable and fair fashion. Lacking any function in rainforest ecology, sapphires and other gemstones can be mined in small-scale and temporary operations without leaving any trace of human activity in pristine environments.
The Ceylon Mining Cooperation is open to partnerships with wholesalers, jewellers or private individuals who share our values.

Ceylon Mining Cooperation
In 2011, Philipp Requat became involved in gemstone-mining. Together with Peter Wiesinger and Navinka Wickramasinghe, several small-scale operations were established under the label of the Ceylon Mining Cooperation in Sri Lanka.
Famed for its precious stones since biblical times, the island remains a major exporter of sapphires. The enterprise was founded with the conviction to introduce unprecedented standards of ecological and social responsibility to this ancient industry. Accordingly, directives were set to refrain from the use of chemical agents and ensure complete re-naturalisation of affected landscapes within one monsoon season. The Ceylon Mining Cooperation became the first outfit in Sri Lanka to pay employees a monthly wage on top of their share in finds, whilst further donating a percentage of profits to local temples. Although mines and sites within the framework have since been integrated into a larger Sri Lankan mining concern, their dedication to these standards persists. Requat Advisory manages Philipp Requat's interests in the industry. As such, we can act as a supplier of Ceylon sapphires of various shapes, colours and quality levels to wholesalers, jewellers and private clients.
