We arrived in Colombo, Sri Lanka on May 15th, 2005 from Bangkok, Thailand . The main focus for this expedition to Sri Lanka was on sapphire, but we had also an interest in other gemstones such as moonstone.
We traveled extensively in Sri Lanka first to Ratnapura, the "city of gemstones" then to Okkampitaya, Elahera and finaly to the famous moonstone deposit of Metiyagoda near Galle.
