The Cape Town Diamond Museum. - Heart In Diamond

Diamonds have played a very important role in the history of South Africa, especially in the Western Cape province, home of the important city of Cape Town. This history began when the 15 year old son of a modest farmer discovered diamonds in a local stream, and culminated with a series of important discoveries that would lead to major excavations and a profound impact on the economic development of the region. This history helped inspire one of Cape Town's most interesting and unique attractions, the Diamond Museum. Check out the site for this one-of- a-kind venue at the official Cape Town Diamond Museum website.
