Moonstone Mine

Discover the rare and mystical beauty of the Sri Lankan Moonstone. Found in only a few places on Earth, the village of Meetiyagoda is world-famous for its high-quality moonstones, characterized by their ethereal blue shimmer.

Our moonstone mine experience takes you into the heart of traditional mining. You'll descend into the deep, hand-dug shafts where miners extract raw stones using ancient techniques. Witness the transformation of rough minerals into shimmering gems as master artisans meticulously cut, polish, and set them into exquisite jewelry. It's a fascinating look at the geological and artisanal history that makes Sri Lanka a 'Gem Island'.
