Where it began
Okkampitiya, and the fields beyond it
The house began in Okkampitiya, in Monaragala District, Uva Province, where our family learned the trade at the pits. We still buy there, and at Ratnapura and Elahera, from miners we know by name. Rough travels from those fields to our lapidary in Colombo, and leaves it cut, graded and documented.
