Canbuy Gem Museum
About This Museum
People don't just come to the Canbuy Gem Museum for glittering jewels; they come for a piece of Sri Lanka's soul, mined from its ancient earth. Tucked away on Ampitiya Road in Kandy, this place feels less like a sterile gallery and more like a treasure chest that's been casually left open. You'll wander past raw, uncut geodes that look like ordinary rocks until you see their crystalline hearts, and then be dazzled by finished pieces that show the lapidary's art. It’s an intimate, surprisingly personal journey from the rough mine to breathtaking brilliance.
Collection Highlights
The star of the show is undoubtedly the 'Blue Giant,' a stunning sapphire the color of a deep tropical sea. Don't miss the 'Geode Room,' where you can see the dramatic contrast between humble exteriors and spectacular, crystal-lined interiors.
Visitor Information
It's easy to find on Ampitiya Road, and with those stellar 4.6-star reviews, you know you're in for a good experience. Just head to the 20000 postal code area in Kandy.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a building that feels more like a spacious, welcoming villa than an institutional museum, it has a relaxed, almost residential charm that makes exploring feel effortless.
