The Cullinan I

One of the most famous diamonds in the world, Cullinan I, was justly considered the largest diamond in the world up to the discovery of the Golden Jubilee. Also known as “The Star of Africa”, the pear-shaped stone is the largest of the 9 diamonds cut from the largest rough diamond ever, the Cullinan diamond(3106,75 carats). Currently, it is the head of St. Edward’s scepter, one of the British Crown Jewels but it can be removed and worn as a brooch.
Amazing!
