Ratnapura is a very underrated area among tourists. But Ratnapura has the largest number of waterfalls in Sri Lanka as well as the gem industry. There are thousands of unimaginably beautiful places here. Thank you for visiting and introducing Ratnapura to world.

Your videos are always very meaningful, so great! I can’t believe you went into the well to shoot, you are so serious and hardworking! The way you play with the water is so interesting, I fantasize about seeing a seal playing with the water! When I thought I couldn't see the gems, I didn't expect the workers to show up with such two big gems! Rambutan root lychee differs not only in appearance, also in sweetness and taste, but the two are really similar! Although those gems are very expensive, I will only know to put them in the aquarium, haha! Thanks a lot for sharing, really great job! 👍🥰👏

Hi Tim, I can't believe the man you met inside the mine. He said he is from Chennai, India. Definitely he is illegal worker, because Sri Lankan immigration not offer work visas for this kind of jobs. Definitely he is on a visitor visa. # immigration Sri lanka

Most of the foreigners visit Anuradhapura, Kandy, Ella, Galle etc. But no one visit Ratnapura (Gem City). In Sri Lanka, 3/4 waterfalls situated in Ratnapura district. Also there are so many places to visit here such as Sri Padhaya, Nonperial, Backer's bend, Udawalawa National Park etc.. There are no proper plan to promote Ratnapura. Thanks Tim for your valuable video. I request tourists, when you come to Sri Lanka, don't forget to visit Gem City.

Sri Lanka is very famous for its gemstones throughout the history since pre- christian times. This island was affectionately known as Rathna-Dweepa which means gem island. Out of about 200 gemstones classified by mineral scientists Sri Lanka can claim to have around 75 varieties & sub-varieties of gemstones. They say around 20% to 25% of the land area of Sri Lanka could be gem-bearing. This island is very famous for Blue Sapphires & Rubies. Even the name of the gem Tourmaline is derived from the Sinhala word "Thoramalli". Thank you Tim. You have done a very interesting video about a gem mine (scientists call it a gem pit) in Rathnapura, the city of gems. Promote Sri Lanka for genuine gemstones & high quality jewellery. All the best for your ventures.

Process of Gem Mining is Very Hard, First We have to Find the Soil that Contains the Gems, That we Call "illam" in Local Language, Experienced Miners Can Identify the Places by Just Looking. After that Dig Through a Tunnel and Bring the Soil Out, then Wash the Soil and see for the Gems, There are Many Traditions and Believes in the Gem Miners, It is a Quit Interesting Subject. Thanks for Go thorough the Rare Topic that Travelers Don't Usually Go for. Enjoy your Stay....!!!!
