O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: Tukaj je razstavljenih več kot 200 vrst dragih in poldragih kamnov, od katerih so mnogi neposredno izkopani iz rudnikov Ratnapure. V muzeju si lahko ogledate tudi 300 milijonov let stare fosile, ki pripovedujejo zgodbo o geološki zgodovini otoka.
Poudarki: Tu hranijo ogromen safir s 370 karati, ob pogledu nanj vam bodo oči ostale odprte. Muzej ima interaktivni del, kjer se lahko dotaknete pravih rudarskih orodij in v živo opazujete postopek rezanja in poliranja kamnov.
Notranji nasveti
- 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.
