Jewelers' Circular prints a picture of Mm diamond, showing Ith actual Hize, Tliis was received from a correspondent in Souih Afrieji. The Circular presumes that ihe diamond referred to is the one known as the Jfigendontciu Kxeclsoir. 11. was ]ucki:d up by a native while jus wasToading a trucl;. Alihmigli a white overseer was nlainling near him, he iniiii- agi'd lo hide it ami keep if on Ids person for some time, l.t. turned out, however, (h;H he did not wish to steal il, for he delivered it personally to thn nmnaK"iAs a reward lie received $7fio and a horsu unit saddle. The exact weight of the diamond 1k'071?.i carat -., or ahotit seven and one-quarter oimees avoirdupois. It, therefore weighs uimul nearly half a pound. hi its piv-eiit condition it; measures three inches in length, one and a half ineiie; in 11: i e I; 11 < - s. two and a half inches in thickness, two and a half inchrs at its greatest biviidih and one and a third Inchis at Its least; breadth. It is of a beau tiful bluish color and is shaped like the brokcii-ot'f end of an Icicle. The flaw in it N believed to he mom uei'ious than is slated in tlie cable dis- puleli. It is a black spot near the middle. Il could be cut iu two, however, so ;is lo le:iv.....it the blemish. It, would then make two of the large-it diamonds in ex- isleiiec. A t t he I iuie of its discovery it was valued at *l,Uixl,oix). The largest cut diamond in the world Is the OrlniT in the scepter of the emperor of Hussla, weighing lld:'.i carats'.' It i'e" cut in the rose form, wiih-a Hat surface below. Accoi'd-ing to one story, ii formed the eye of an Indian idol and wn-i stolen by a French deserter. In 177:- Count (Jrlolf bought ibfor Kmpivsri Calherino at a C0>a*i of ;Sk)0,lJiH. '1'he next largest is the Pitt diamond, hraight in 17'r.' by Mr. 1'itt, governor of Madras,, lor fPio.iHKi. The duke of Or leans, re*gerit""oT 'h'Hiici', bought it. for Louis XV. for >'fi.7i,(m. Ir, is now report-, pd to he worth iwiee that .sum. At tho lime of the revolution it: was sent to Her- Un, but reapp'ared In the hilt of tho cword of state used by Napoleon \. It weighs l:Jfi;li carats, but originally woiyli- d -lit). After this comes tho Klorentlno, oi Grand Duke, now In the possession of tho omperor of Austria, it is of a yellow col- nr, oblong in shape and cud in the rose pattern, Its exact weight is given as lift. 1*1 carats. Tradition says it was lost! by Charles the Bold at, tlie battle of Grun- fion and picked up by a Swis^ soldier who sold it for a few pencil. 'The Rob inner, the largest diamond in , the possession of the Tirlflsh crown, ifl believed to he the finest and purest in ex istence. It; also has the most singular his tory. The Indian lej.eiid says that, it was found in one of the Colconda mines, near the Ki.shna river, nnd was worn r>,000 years by Kama, one of tins heroes celebrat ed In the Mahabharata. It passed through many hands to Unher, founder of tho Mogul dynasty, In l.v.'t). Tavernler, tho French explorer, saw it in bVSa. It was then of ihe shape of half an egg ftnfl weighed iid cam is. It had been re duced to that/weight from TU^ carats by an unskillful stonecutter. In lTii1.) It iias.setl to Nadir Shah, tbo Persian invader of India, who gave it itn name of Kohinoor, or mountain of light. In 1910, when the conquest, of the Punjab Was finally compiled, it was surrendered to the IJrltish, and iii.lbOd it was present ed to Queen Victoria. When it was shown in the exhibition of 18R7, in London it weighed lSti 1-Hi carats. KiiJL-e then It- has bum veeiit, and now weighs 1U(S l-li>. It has been conjectured that Mm Koh inoor originally form* d parts of the samo stone as the Orloff diamond, both of thoiii. having once been iu the possession of tho Great 'Mogul.
