HARITSONS group is also at a unique position to have designed, developed and exported specialized plant and equipment for mining and separation of diamond and other gemstones. In India its customers have included Geological Survey of India, National Mineral Development Corporation, Reliance Industries, Jindal group, etc. who have been in pursuit of diamonds in Orissa, Chhatisgarh and nearby places.
Now HARITSONS group has another vertical business, that of Jewellery with its award winning, international brand SYMETREE with large factory at Jaipur and flagship stores at Khan Market and Ambawatta in New Delhi.
It was the year 1991 when Mr. Vinod Haritwal, Director of HARITSONS saw for the first time large scale mine of Diatomaceous Earth at New South Wales in Australia. He was a non-technical student for a special diploma in Gemstone Mining at the Key Centre for Mines at School of Mines, University of New South Wales. It was then that he decided to develop the Siliceous Earth mines under HARITSONS group in Rajasthan.
However, there was something else in the fate. He was looking after Gem Corporation of Orissa Ltd., as the Managing Director doing Ruby mining in Orissa and in 1993 went to Zambia as a Director of Kagem Mining Limited, world’s largest Emerald mine, a Joint Venture with Government of Zambia. Since then and up to 2008 he was involved in gemstone mining in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Madagascar in Southern Africa. So the Diatomaceous Earth project went on the back-burner.
After returning from Gemstone mining field, Mr. Vinod again rekindled his dream of developing Diatomaceous Earth mining and finding new avenues to use the same and a number of mining leases of Diatomaceous Earth have been acquired by HARITSONS. With the experience and expertise in gemstone mining and mineral processing technology, the same technological systems and quality parameters have been used in mining of Diatomaceous Earth, thus HARITSONS have been able to produce the best quality of DE in India.
