What should be included on a Sri Lankan gemstone receipt?

In Sri Lanka, a professional, legally binding gemstone receipt should include the shop’s official NGJA licence number, the purchase date, and a set of very precise stone specifics so you’re protected against fraud in practice. Don’t take anything generic, for example, a receipt that just reads “Blue Sapphire – $500”.

Also, make sure the invoice clearly lists the exact carat weight, the stone classification (for instance, Natural Corundum), the specific colour description, and especially the treatment status, such as Heated or Unheated. It should further mention the unique serial number of the gemmological certificate that comes with the stone. This kind of detailed invoice becomes your real legal safeguard.
