Message from The Principal:

Gems & Jewellery Training Manufacturing Centre, GJTMC Quetta has started its journey from January 27, 2011.

GJTMC Quetta is equipped with advance lapidary machinery imported from Germany and Japan and latest Gemological equipments from Germany for the identification of natural and synthetic gemstones as well as gemstones enhancement.

Besides semi-precious gemstone mines in Baluchistan large quantities of rough gemstones such as Lapis Lazuli, Emerald, Rubies, Tourmaline, Aquamarine, Spinel, Garnet and Turquoise etc., enter Baluchistan from neighboring countries (Afghanistan and Iran). It was crucial that for the development of a strong lapidary system in Baluchistan to encourage processing of all material that transit through Baluchistan.

We are conducting skill development training programs on Gemstone Identification, Gemstone Grading and Merchandizing.
