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.
This mine has produced some of the world’s largest high quality gemstones and is the home of the world’s largest diamond – the Cullinan (3106 ct).
Recently, a number of record braking blue diamonds have been found including a 122.52 carat diamond which achieved a value of US$ 27.6 million in 2014.

Very interesting experience. Unfortunately missed the part where we were told to wear CLOSED shoes, so the shoes that we were given to wear were not too comfortable. The tour guide spoke clear and was knowledgeable, could answer all out questions. Good tour for tourists, nice restaurants to finish off an enjoyable morning. - Maritha
The tour was great, what a wonderful experience wow. - Hezen
Great guide. Very interesting tour. I learned a lot. - Carola
I was happy with the tour. May be the video at the start could explain a bit more the recent underground mining underneath the bottom of the old mining. - Norbert
Although I have lived in Pretoria and Cullinan district for more than 60 years, and having visited Cullinan village on various occasions, it was the first time I took a tour of the mine. We had family visiting from the Netherlands, and I wanted to show them a little bit more about the SA mining industry. Especially since the world's biggest diamond was found here. I was very pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. We were greeted in Afrikaans, which immediately made the Dutch feel more "at home". Our tour guide Sharon was absolutely great and very informative. She could answer all our questions and even give more information. The mine premises is neat and safe. It is also great to see how Petra has improved and expanded the mine over the past decade or so. Unfortunately the village does not have much else to offer during the week, as most of the restaurants and shops are closed. I would also recommend that the Reception upgrade their toilet facilities - it is rather run-down with a dirty towel. Overall however we enjoyed our trip, and I will definitely recommend anyone interested in our diamond mining industry, to visit the mine. Maybe rather over a weekend. - Francien
