Diamonds are Forever!

Last week my wife asked me a Diamond Ring as her Birthday gift. The innocent lady, though, didn’t mention what kind of Diamond she wanted. So I hoodwinked her by gifting a beautiful and an attractive American Diamond which is cheaply available at any street side shop.

American Diamond as a gift! You might surprise at my cheap decision but I know it’s not possible for any poor Lower middle class person to buy diamonds as the gift item. Let those sleek T.V. Commercial and newspaper ads say or show anything. The buyers inside us won’t budge an inch or blink for a Nano-second.

The Great Mughal Diamond

However, do you know which the biggest and costliest Diamond of the world is? I searched for this on the google search engine and it gave me sparkling and amazing results! As far as   information about diamonds is concerned, it was not “Kohinoor” but one that was  known as “Great Mughal.” That Diamond was approximately 817 caret of weight when discovered. But one Novice diamond cutter, while working on it, cut it down and reducing its weight to only 287 caret. According to history books, that diamond was first seen at possession of “King Aurangjeb” around 1650. But later, it was looted by Nadirshah and then it was vanished in the air! Nobody saw that great Mughal diamond again after its disappearance.

The Great Table

The second biggest diamond of the world was called “The great Table”. Nadirshah looted this diamond, again. It weighted approximately around 242 carets, and ,has been at the possession of Iran Government. After comparing each great diamond of the world, one would say with confidence that the biggest diamond of the world was, however, the “Kurlanas”. That diamond which discovered from Transwel coal mines in South Africa, weighted about 3016 caret! This diamond was presented to King Edward-the 7^th.But due to some reason or other that diamond was got divided into several parts by the authority. The biggest part of the wholesome diamond is the “Star of Africa” and it still weights approximately around 530.2 carets.

Lesser Star of South Africa

Yet one another diamond   discovered in that very “Kurlanas” coal mines and that too, divided into several parts in order to share by all party. The biggest part of that diamond   known as “Lesser Star of Africa” and which is the largest Diamond of the world.

Jubly-the 4^th Largest

The fourth largest diamond of the world is “Jubly “which too, was discovered from same African coal mines.
