How many carats are there in the Diamonds on the Crown of the British? How many carats are the largest diamonds in the world?

At present, the world's largest gem -grade diamond is discovered by the Pleomir diamond mines in South Africa in January 1905. No color transparency, no flaws, excellent texture, weighing 3106 carats. At that time, the name of the mine's general manager "Kulinan" was named.

In January 1905, the supervisor of the Plemir diamond mines in South Africa, Freedville, found a flashing object in the reflection of the setting sun. Things, he thought it was a glass bottle falling in the mud, and he raised it with a cane to scrape the soil. He hardly believed his eyes, and he was a golden stone as a fist. Because he received Qibao, he received a bounty of $ 10,000.

The largest diamonds in the world, the British government bought it with $ 750,000, shipped to the UK, and presented to the British King VII in 1907. Shou Li. Later, this huge diamond was sent to the Dutch capital for cutting. This "African Star" was set up as a priceless treasure in the world after several months of research and analysis by many experts. In the end, many experts unanimously decided to divide the diamond into three large drills. Experts carefully studied its split direction and first opened a quarter -inch gap in the direction of division. On the afternoon of February 10, 1908, a well -known Dutch diamond segmentation expert selected by the British king himself personally selected The two brothers Josephi divided. A consultant group was accompanied by a consultant group at any time to study the change at any time, and asked a doctor and two nurses to keep on the spot. If their estimates have the slightest deviation or improper force or an angle of the hammer, this diamond may be split into tens of thousands of gravels. At that time, the promising experts of the segmentation of the experts ended. At this time, the air in the room was very tight. The segmentation experts inserted the steel blade directly into the gap that the pre -deployed in advance. Sweat, but still calm. Before raising the wooden hammer, at this time, it was difficult to breathe evenly. The division of experts hit the newly replaced knife back. The diamond was divided into three pieces according to what they wished. At this time, the division of experts fainted immediately, and then recovered in the hospital for a long time before recovering the normal state.

Plack diamonds will be cut on March 3 of the same year. Three thought experts worked for 14 hours a day and took eight months to ponder into the largest four diamonds.

"Kulinnan No. 1" is the heaviest one of the pear -shaped and three pieces, weighs 530.2 carats, and later inlaid on the script of the British king. star". It has 74 face -to -face.

"Kulinan No. 2" is a square, weighing 317.4 carat, and the back is inlaid on the crown of the King of British.

"Kulinan No. 3" is pear -shaped, weighing 94.4 carats, inlaid on the spire of the British Queen Crown.

"Kulinan No. 4" is square, weighing 63.6 carats. Southern fourth ". It is inlaid on the edge of the Queen Crown.

"African Star" is cut into nine large diamonds and 96 small diamonds, which are used as crowns, scepter and other decorations. The remaining five of the nine diamonds are: the fifth one is the heart shape, weighs 18.8 carats; the sixth one is the tip of the ship, weighs 11.5 carats; Weighing 6.8 carats; the ninth one is pear -shaped, weighing 4.39 carats. In addition, there are still 96 small diamonds, which have scattered 8 carats around the world. The remaining very small and unsightly crushed stones weighing 9.5 carats.

The "African Star" rough with 3106 carats weighs 3106 carats, cut into 105 diamonds, a total of 1064.26 carats, and 9.5 carats that cannot be cut. The weight of the finished product only accounts for one -third of the rough stone, and it can be seen that the consumption of rough stones is very large.

The true story of "African Star" is far from finishing. After 14 years, in 1919, in the same mine, not far away from the "African Star" diamond, I found an incomplete diamond stones weighing 1500 carats. It must be named alone, but people study the characteristics of this diamond stone. According to its crystal characteristics and cracking shapes, it is determined that it is the same as the "African Star" discovered in 1905, but it is a crystal, but it is cracking. It was discovered later, so I did not name it again. In other words, if the "Curon" of "African Star" is not cracked, its total weight should be above 4606 carat
