The museum provides a fascinating educational journey into the geological wonders of South Africa, renowned as the land of Gold, Platinum and Diamonds. Explore how our diamonds, gold and platinum fields formed billions of years ago, and the incredible journey these minerals undertook to be discovered, mined, refined and worked to finally be cherished and admired around the world.
