Advantages: Diamonds, tanzanite you name it!! Disadvantages: Expensive
...During my trip to Cape Town in May of this year, I decided to enrol on one of the scheduled tours which incorporated a visit to The Diamond Works.
What are "The Diamond Works"?

It is a destination where all visitors can learn about diamond cutting and it a fully operational diamond-cutting workshop.
What is a diamond and where did it come from?

Advantages: Seemingly freebie movies Disadvantages: Getting far too popular
