over 3000 carats, discovered in Cullinan, South Africa, on 26 January 1905.
It was named after Thomas Cullinan, the mine’s chairman. In April 1905,
it was put on sale in London, but despite considerable interest,
it was still unsold after two years. In 1907, the Transvaal Colony government
bought the Cullinan and presented it to Edward VII, King of the United Kingdom.
Various cuts and sizes were made from this gem, and the largest named
Cullinan I or the Great Star of Africa, at over 500 carats is the largest diamond
in the world. It is mounted in the head of the Sovereign's Sceptre with Cross.
The second largest is Cullinan II, weighing over 300 carats,
mounted in the Imperial State Crown. Both are part of the Crown Jewels.
Seven other major diamonds, weighing a total of 200 carats, are privately owned
by Elizabeth II, who inherited them from her grandmother, Queen Mary, in 1953.
