Montepuez is the second largest city in Cabo Delgado Province in northern Mozambique, after the provincial capital Pemba, and the seat of Montepuez District. Ruby deposits discovered there in 2009 turned it into one of the largest ruby producing places in the world from 2011, and the deposits are thought to potentially hold about 40 percent of the world supply of rubies, which makes gemstone mining the defining feature of the local economy.
