Om
Snabba fakta: Här visas över 200 typer av ädla och halvädelstenar, varav många kommer direkt från gruvorna i Ratnapura. Museet visar även fossiler som är 300 miljoner år gamla, vilka berättar öns geologiska historia.
Höjdpunkter: Här förvaras en enorm safir på 370 carat som kommer få dig att tappa andan. Museet har en interaktiv avdelning där du kan röra vid riktiga gruvverktyg och se processen med att skära och polera stenar live.

- 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.
