Cullinan Diamonds

In Cullinan, a small town about 50 kilometers northeast of Pretoria, there is a world-famous diamond mine. Although it has been mined for 103 years, this mine is still full of power, selecting from a large amount of ores every day. A diamond weighing about 1 kg is produced. The largest diamond ever found in the world came from the town of Carinan, a very beautiful, blue-white diamond named after its discoverer Thomas Carinan in 1902. The Calinan diamond weighs 3,106 carats, the size of a fist. But what is puzzling is that it is so flat on one side that it appears to have been split in half. Perhaps the remaining piece was the larger part, but the other half was never found. The Cullinan Diamond was cut into a 530-carat South African Star and several other small diamonds, all of which are currently set in the Queen's Crown. Cullinan is a charming old mining village and a delightful place to visit. Here you can start a mine tour. After visiting the birthplace of diamonds, the Cullinan Mine also opened up a famous diamond showroom, diamond processing factory, sales department and other contents for people. Through the large glass window, you can watch the cutting staff of the Cullinan Diamond Company use mechanical equipment to cut The original diamonds, and then under the hands of the polishing staff, the dazzling rays of light hidden under the rough stones gradually appeared, and the breathtaking diamonds appeared in front of them. A visit to a diamond mine is to be amazed at the wonder of nature's creations, and to be amazed at the wealth contained in small diamonds. It can also be said that this is a journey of discovery about beauty. It is worth mentioning that although Cullinan Mine and De Beers are world-renowned companies, Cullinan itself is a quiet, artistic town. On both sides of Oak Street outside the mine, old houses that have been preserved for more than a century have been transformed into coffee shops, galleries, craft shops, etc., and some South African artists have settled here to create. On weekends, there are always people who drive here from Joburg, Beituo and other places to pay tribute to the old site and enjoy the rare tranquility with a cup of coffee.
