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.
“You abandoned me
Love don’t live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don’t live here anymore
Just emptiness and memories
Of what we had before
You went away
Found another place to stay, another home”
Love Don’t Live Here Anymore ~ Patti LaBelle
Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose
And nothin’ ain’t worth nothin’ but it’s free – Me and Bobby McGee by Kris Kristofferson

Hollis Brown
He lived on the outside of town
With his wife and five children
And his cabin fallin’ down…
