Traveler reviews
Mehraj Begum
★★★★★a month agoIt was nice and friendly and learned lots of things and we found out information about how gems are made. Activities were curated for children and we spent more than 2 hours here. Kids get to buy precious stones home. Mr Kunming and his staff were very patient with the kids and explained how precious stones and gems are formed.

Cracking the geode was definitely a highlight — such a unique and memorable experience. Special thanks to the owner, Mr. Tay, for the kind invitation and warm hospitality. Truly a great visit and highly recommended for anyone interested in gems and minerals.
