Tietoa
Nopeat faktat: Täällä on esillä yli 200 erilaista arvo- ja puolijalokiveä, joista monet on louhittu suoraan Ratnapuran kaivoksista. Museossa on nähtävillä myös 300 miljoonaa vuotta vanhoja fossiileja, jotka kertovat saaren geologisesta historiasta.
Kohokohdat: Täällä säilytetään 370 karaatin kokoista valtavaa safiiria, joka saa silmät selälleen. Museossa on interaktiivinen osasto, jossa voit koskettaa oikeita kaivosvälineitä ja nähdä livenä kivien leikkaus- ja kiillotusprosessin.
