Mogkok, which is 126 miles from Mandalay, produces world-famous rubies and gemstones and is therefore dubbed as the Land of Ruby. There are large number of gems mines in Mogkok and Irrawaddy’s photojournalist Thaw hein Htet has documented gems mines and the life of gems mine workers. A man takes a look at a stone.
