Bult Fonteen


Bultfontein (pronounced bult-fon-tain) is Afrikaans for โ€œsmall hill fountainโ€.

This is loosely translated because a โ€™bultโ€™ is, sensu stricto, not a hill as such, but rather a gentle topographic rise or slightly elevated area.

Bultfontein was the name of the farm where one of the diamond-bearing kimberlites in the Kimberley cluster was discovered.

The Bultfontein kimberlite, therefore, forms part of the Kimberley, Wesselton, Dutoitspan, Bultfontein and De Beers mines cluster that was discovered in the present-day precincts of Kimberley.

Dutoitspan (Du Toits Pan) was the first of the so-called dry diggings to be claimed and mined, as opposed to the river diggings which were exploited before it was realized that the kimberlite was the primary source of diamonds, not the alluvial gravels.

Even though Bultfontein and Dutoitspan kimberlite pipes are only separated by several hundred meters, the diamonds from each are remarkably different in size, shape, and colour (Cairncross, 2017).
