We joined Ahmed for a 2 day gem safari and it was really great. Ahmed met us at the airport and took us for a wiz tour of Colombo as it was quite late. The next morning, we headed out bright and early towards Ratnapura, our ‘big’ destination point. As we drove, Ahmed assessed our interests and adapted the tour to meet our specific requirements. We stopped at a market selling rough gemstones but quickly moved on as the prices were very high. Getting to Ratnapura, we headed to the gem market. We were shown a very old faceting machine which was if interest to us, and a quick divert to the bridge to see the river and an amazing huge volume of fruit bats hanging from the trees. Then, with the skillful guidance of Ahmed, we were able to meet some of the traders and see their gemstones. Having Ahmed at our side, absolutely made all the difference to ensure we selected authentic gems. He was the conduit for both seller and buyer. It was an exciting day. The next day we visited another market selling rough gemstones. It was an absolute experience and exactly why we made this trip, although we didn’t buy anything, so it was just Look, See and Absorb. Whilst our trip was not for sight seeing and our needs very specific, I can also see how a 1 or 2 day trip with Ahmed would be really interesting for anyone interested in learning about the historical and current gem trade in SriLanka which is part of their heritage. For us and anyone in the gem industry, a trip with Ahmed as guide and facilitator is invaluable and his passion for gemstones and showing Sri Lanka is authentic.
