  2. The King of Diamond Curin
    On January 25, 1905, on the Pleomir mine in Azania, South Africa, a manager named Wales occasionally saw a shiny thing on the ground -he suppressed him The mad heart, carefully dug it out with the knife carried with you -after sleeping for hundreds of millions of years in the ground, the king of the diamond finally woke up.
    Kulinnan is not a complete crystal. It is just a part of a large crystal large pieces. Even if this is so, it is still the largest gemstone in the world so far. It is pure and transparent, with a light blue tone, and is the best gem diamond stone; the volume is equivalent to the fist of an adult man with a weight of 3106 carats. It was so huge and dazzling that no one could afford it at the time. Until 1907, the local authorities in Teram Avar in South Africa used £ 150,000 to acquire it and dedicated it to the British King as a birthday gift. Edward III.
    This royal family gave the glory of the king of diamonds to the most authoritative diamond company at the time, the Dutch Aschar's processing. In early 1908, Kulinnan was sent to Amsterdam. It is a huge challenge in front of the Dutch craftsman: how to divide the huge rough segments a few small pieces -because even if it is a slightest negligence, the gem value of this piece of city will instantly become a bunch of valuable fragments. Honor and challenge were also handed over to the most famous craftsman of the Netherlands, Aschar, he took a few weeks to study Kulinan, manufacture glass models and design special tools at a ratio of 1: 1. He first used these tools to test the glass model, and the results were split according to the expected requirements.
    The days when the fate of Curry Nan was coming. On February 10, 1908, Aschar and assistant came to the studio. Kulinnan was tightly pinched by a large pliers. A special steel wedge was placed in the pre -grinding slot on it. Ascha Using a heavy stick to knock on the steel wedge- "pop", Curry South lines were motionless, but the steel wedge was broken. The atmosphere in the studio is tightly breathless. The top craftsmen of the two Dutch almost collapsed -they sweated coldly, put the second steel wedge, and knocked hard. Charles fainted on the floor.
    8 months later, Kulinan finally achieved a positive result under the intention of the Dutch craftsmen. On the stick, it is called "African Star I", that is, "Kulinnan No. 1", it is the largest diamond, water droplet, 74 noodles, 530.2 carats; the second big diamond is square, 64 noodles, 64 noodles , 317.4 carat, named "African Star II", is inlaid under the crown of the British king.
    IV found in Culinan 14 years, people found another 1,500 carat gemstone in the Pleomir mine. It is believed that it is made of the same large crystal as Curon, and its weight is third in the world. Therefore, this diamond does not give it a special name.
    The above is the world's largest rough diamond. Let me introduce the world's largest finished diamond.
