Many of the world’s most famous diamonds are heralded 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.  After visiting the mine, you will get the opportunity to visit the Cullinan Diamond Mine market for an unforgettable diamond and jewelry shopping experience
