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. In general, the question is: is it true? how easy is it to find high-quality and not fakes? how to export and import to the Russian Federation? Many thanks in advance to everyone!

this semi-precious stone can indeed be bought in Kenya, which borders Tanzania. But the prices for it are sometimes "pulled up". The stone, although it has a hardness of 6.5 (that is, 2.5 divisions less than precious sapphires and rubies), is rare (mined only in Tanzania in the Arusha region) and is famous for the play of light - from blue to brownish. There is a risk of running into a fake. Maybe you should combine an experience tour (Tanzania is among the most spectacular destinations for fans ... Farther...

ollennka, there are sapphires and topazes, there are no diamonds but! Mutnyak costs a penny about $ 15 per carat, but standing (clean, etc.) is about $ 900 carats. For the author, good clean stones cannot be cheap. Once I bought earrings with sapphires in India in a trusted jeweler, then I showed the jeweler at home, he said, I would make the same ones for you at the same price, or even cheaper This is what I mean, a good product will not be cheap anywhere. It is better to take not expensiv ... 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 ...

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...
