Om
Raske fakta: Her er over 200 typer edel- og halvedelsteiner utstilt, hvorav mange er hentet direkte fra Ratnapuras gruver. Museet har også fossiler som er 300 millioner år gamle, som forteller historien om øyas geologiske historie.
Høydepunkter: Her oppbevares en enorm 370 karat safir som vil få øynene dine til å sperre seg opp. Museet har en interaktiv seksjon hvor du kan ta på ekte gruveutstyr og se prosessen med steinkutting og polering live.
Insidertips
- Do not forget to carry a camera, the shine of the gems is best captured in pictures taken while standing on the second floor.
- Do not forget to tip the guide, they will tell you stories that you will not find in any book.
- The diamond and sapphire room has the most crowd, go there first and then see the rest of the galleries.
- Avoid going on the weekend, Monday or Tuesday is almost deserted.
