- Primary source of Ceylon Moonstone: Sri Lanka’s moonstones — especially the bluish variety with strong adularescence — are prized worldwide for their beauty and quality.
- Unique deep-shaft mining: The Meetiyagoda mine is considered the world’s only active deep-shaft moonstone mine, producing high-clarity moonstones with a characteristic blue sheen.
- Mining experience: Visitors can walk into actual mine shafts, observe the extraction process (often through muddy tunnels), and see how moonstones are washed, sorted, and polished.
- Production: Rough moonstones are extracted manually from the earth — typically miners bring up soil yielding 50-100 raw stones per day
