just 7 km inland from the coast, is the heart of Sri Lanka’s moonstone mining industry, where you can see this age-old process up close. The moonstone mines there have been in operation for centuries, with the practice dating back to the 18th century.

The mining process is unique, as it takes place in small, hand-dug tunnels, often just a few meters long. Miners work in muddy, humid conditions, digging into the earth to unearth the precious stones. These mines are not the elaborate, large-scale operations you might imagine; they are more like little rabbit holes in the ground, where miners sift through dirt and gravel by hand. The process can be grueling, but it’s an age-old tradition that hasn’t changed much over time.

Once the moonstones are extracted, the stones are carefully washed and filtered to separate the moonstones from other materials. These stones, which have a captivating iridescent glow, are then polished to reveal their beautiful sheen before being sold in local markets or exported worldwide.
