5 Gemstones You Can Only Find in Vietnam's Luc Yen Market - Ruby, Spinel, Sapphire and More!

Step into the heart of Vietnam’s hidden treasure — the Luc Yen Gemstone Market, the only million-dollar gem market in the entire country. Tucked away in the stunning mountains of Yen Bai Province, this bustling marketplace is where miners, traders, and collectors from across Vietnam gather every week to buy and sell some of the most precious stones in Southeast Asia. From fiery red rubies and shimmering sapphires to mesmerizing spinels, star gemstones, and colorful quartz, every corner of this market is overflowing with sparkle and mystery.

In this video, I take you on an exclusive, behind-the-scenes journey through Vietnam’s only gemstone market of this scale, showing you not just the dazzling gems on display, but also the fascinating stories behind them. Meet the local Hmong, Dao, and Tay traders, watch expert gem cutters at work, and discover how rough stones from the surrounding mountains are transformed into exquisite jewelry worth thousands — even millions — of dollars.

Whether you’re a gemstone enthusiast, a traveler looking for hidden gems (literally!), or simply curious about Vietnam’s rich cultural and natural heritage, this adventure will open your eyes to a side of the country that most tourists never see.
