I was in Sri Lanka in September 2013, together with a local guide we traveled around a bunch of shops and so-called factories. The prices are different, there is very cheap, but even a non-specialist understands that these are not stones, but garbage. As a result, I bought in Halle, in the Douglas and Sons store, according to reviews on the Internet. The stones are of excellent quality, the owner himself chose me, upon arrival I checked with a jeweler - everything is super price 1.5-2 times chea ... Farther...
Gentlemen, does anyone know how easy it is to buy tanzanites there? I wanted to go directly to Tanzania, but I was told that tanzanites and other stones that are mined in Tanzania are sold in Kenya.

As for the high prices, they are definitely high here, and if you buy several large stones, I think it’s cheaper to go to Africa yourself. Farther...

Completely different countries in terms of recreation. In Sri Lanka, there is no night life, and perhaps even evening life. Only the hotel and nearby cafes, and those are not until late. A kind of calm colonial holiday. Regarding excursions - the country is rich in its culture and historical monuments. You can see mines where precious stones are mined, sea turtle farms, tea plantations, the Royal Botanical Garden, etc., etc. And also Ayurveda. In general, you need to decide for yourself what yo ...

We are flying for 11 nights and would not like long journeys. But I personally want to go to tea plantations. Are they far from Kalutara? And a couple of interesting excursions nearby. You can leave in the morning and be at the hotel in the evening. Preferably individually. And tell me a good scourge in Kalutara and how to find him. What do they bring from Sri Lanka besides tea and stones?

Great rum in India!! Here it definitely needs to be taken out and tea. At the expense of shells, we calmly took them out (for the aquarium and the youngest for games) like there are no bans (such as in Thailand strictly and without discussion). But it's possible to ask the meeting u a question just in case. Farther...
