Very interesting, and probably the largest collection of gems in Cambodia. I recommend if you are a gem amateur, or if you just want to learn.

Es un tour diferente para hacer en Siem Reap. Aprender sobre piedras preciosas y semipreciosas. Gracias Jean-Philippe. Nos cautivó con su pasión por las gemas. Nos enseñó sus nombres y diferentes tipos. Nos enseñó a través de diferentes métodos como diferenciar un topacio transparente de un cuarzo. O diferenciar un rubí natural, de uno que se le ha agregado vidrio, o uno sintético. Imperdible y diferente.

We are a family of four and scheduled a 1/2 day workshop. Alice presented the museum, categories of gems, then explained how to identify the various gems with different techniques that we got to experiment.
We also bought some very nice jewelry and raw gems in the store. The workshop is a bit expensive for a family of four but worth it as it is quite unique. The jewelry is affordable and beautiful and we are very happy with our purchases.
Overall a great experience that i highly recommend ... we were very happy with the quality of the services, which is not always guaranteed in Siem Reap.
