High -quality diamonds. It weighs 3106CT, which is equivalent to the fist of an adult man. It is pure and transparent, with light blue tones, is the best diamond. This is the world's largest diamond- "Kulinnan".

    "Kulinan" was too large, and no one could afford it at that time. Later, the local authorities in South Africa acquired £ 150,000. On December 9, 1907, it was presented to the British royal family to congratulate the British king's love of Huahua III. In early 1908, "Kulinnan" was sent to the most authoritative city of Diamond -Amsterdam, the most authoritative city of Diamonds at that time, and handed over to Jean Aschar. The processing fee was 80,000 pounds. Because the original stone is too large, it is necessary to split into several small pieces in advance. This is an extremely difficult job, because if the research is not enough or the technology is not good, this huge diamond will be crushed into a bunch of small fragments without any value. The split work was carried out by the Dutch craftsman about Joosa. He took a few weeks to study "Kulinan", manufactured a glass model according to its size and shape, and designed a set of tools. He first used these tools to test the glass model, and the results met the expected requirements. On February 10, 1908, he and the assistant came to a special studio, tightly clamped "Kulinan" with a large pliers, and then placed in a pre -grinding slot on it with a special steel wedge. Essence Jean Aschar tapped the steel wedge with a heavy hammer. With a "pop", "Kulinnan" tattooed, but the steel wedge was broken. Aschar was sweating on his face, and he put the second steel wedge in the atmosphere of tension as if he was about to explode. Tap again. This time, "Kulinnan" was completely cracked in half as expected, but Aschar was fainted to the ground.

    "Kulinnan" was split, and three skilled craftsmen were pondered. They used for more than 8 months and worked for 14 hours a day to complete. A total of 9 large diamonds and 96 small diamonds were considered. The total weight is 1063.65ct, only 34.25 of the original weight of "Kulinnan". Nine large diamonds made from "Kulinnan" are owned by the British royal family. The largest one of the 9 capsules is called "African Star I", which weighs 530.2CT. It is a pear -shaped and pondered 74 noodles. It is the largest diamond today, inlaid in the power of the British king.
