The World’s Largest Diamond
Ever since I saw the movie “Blood Diamonds” starring Leonardo DiCaprio, I have never wanted a diamond ever again.
I gave my diamond rings to my daughter.
I found this interesting however, and thought I would share it with you.
The world’s largest diamond was found in South Africa in 1905. It was called the “Cullinan.” It was 3,106 carats and weighed 1.33 pounds.
It was given to Britain’s King Edward VII as a birthday gift.
He had it cut into nine large diamonds and about 100 smaller stones.
I wonder where all these diamonds are now.
