| Comments | The unidentified gem was recovered by police and given to the Department of Archaeology for identification. It was being held in a copper Kandyan Period vessel and the suspect told authorities that he found the gem (presumably in the vessel) while 'digging up a treasure' in the Inamaluwa area of Dambulla. |
