The Cullinan Diamond Mine is renowned as a source of large, high-quality gem diamonds, including Type II stones, as well as being the world’s most important source of very rare blue diamonds.
Cullinan earned its place in history with the discovery of the Cullinan diamond in 1905, the largest rough gem diamond ever found at 3,106 carats, which was cut to form the two most important diamonds in the British Crown Jewels. Many of the world’s most famous diamonds herald from Cullinan, and it continues to produce world-class diamonds under Petra’s stewardship.
The Cullinan orebody contains a major diamond resource of 195 Mcts, suggesting a potentially long life for the operation of +50 years.
Come and enjoy with us exclusive surface and underground tours of the working Cullinan Diamond Mine.

Good to know the largest Diamond in the rough as well as the largest gem Diamond were found in this Cullinan Mine. I will be very much happy if I could buy a replica of the 3,000 carat diamond in the rough. Thank you to provide me such chance to visit. - Hideki Mizuno
Loved the mine tour. Very interesting. The guide was sweet but just seemed a bit too rehearsed. - Tammy Esquino
We went for the surface tour as our kids were too young for the underground tour. We had an excellent guide who gave us a very interesting tour. We enjoyed learning about the Cullinan Diamond mines. - Serena Oh
Well structured mine tour against the backdrop of purpul Jacaranda flowers ending in a highnote with the cullinan star cut in a diamond. - blanche steyn
We enjoyed the mine tour. It was informative and varied and the tour guide was friendly and approachable. Here are some suggestions 1. The tour guide needs to speak a LOT slower. We missed some of what she was telling us. 2. She also needs to speak more loudly. - Lynne Oberem
