A Journey of Faith

The story of the discovery of Israel’s first economic gem deposit is primarily a story of uncompromising faith.

Despite the Jewish and Holy Land connection to precious gems, through historical line of work and biblical references – no one in documented history has ever officially tried to explore for precious gems deposits in the Land of Israel, especially in light of the geological information that was known about the area.

Our story begins in 1988, when the Lubavitcher Rebbe (one of the most influential spiritual leader of our generation), spoke of precious gems hidden deep within the earth of the Holy Land of Israel; and with the late Mr. Avi Taub, a devoted man of faith and vision, who with unwavering belief embarked on a journey to uncover these treasures, driven by his trust in the Rebbe’s words.

For over two decades, we faced countless challenges. Skeptics doubted, and obstacles seemed insurmountable, but our determination and faith never wavered. Finally, in 2019, our efforts were rewarded when the first ever economic deposit of precious gems was unearthed near Haifa — a discovery that scientists and gemologists alike hailed as extraordinary. With a rare variety of gemstones, some of which have never been found anywhere else in the world.
