Established in 1999 and headquartered in Netanya, Israel, Shefa Gems Ltd is a company dedicated to the exploration and development of valuable gemstones. Operating primarily in northern Israel, the firm actively searches for a diverse array of precious minerals, including diamonds, natural moissanites, various types of sapphires (such as the distinctive carmel sapphire), rubies, garnets, hibonites, spinels, and ilmenites. Their prospecting efforts also extend to gold deposits and significant heavy minerals like zircon and rutile. The company holds exploration and prospecting permits for key projects, most notably the Kishon River and Mount Carmel sites. This entity, initially known as Shefa Yamim (A.T.M.) Ltd, formally adopted its current name, Shefa Gems Ltd, in June 2019.
