patch. 1t is a black spot near the mid
die. 1t could be cut in two, however,
SO as to leave out the blemish. 1t would
then make two of the largest diamonds
in existence. At the time of its discov-
cry it was valued at 81 ,000,O 900.
The largest cut diamond in the world
is the Orloff in the scepter of the en-
peror of Russia, weighing 194sI carats.
1t is cut in the rose form, with fat
surface below. According to one story,
it formed the eye of an Indian idol and
was stolen by French deserter. In
1772 Count Orloff bought it for EN-
press Catherine at cost of s45O,OOO.
The next largest is the Pitt diamond,
bought in 17O2 by Mr.. Pitt, governor Of
Madras, for 100000. The duke of Or
leans, regent of France, bought it for
Louis XIV. for s650,OOO. 1t is now re-
ported to be worth twice that sum. At
the time of the revolution it was sent to
Berlin, but reappeared in the hilt of
the sword of state used by Napoleon 1.
1t weighs 1861 carats, but originally
weighed 40.
After this comes the Florentine, or
Grand Duke, now in the possession of
the emperor of Austria. 1t is of yell
low color, oblong in shape and cut in
the rose pattern. It's exact weight is
given as 133. 16 carats. Tradition says
1t was lost by Charles the Bold at the
battle of Granson and picked up by a
Swiss soldier who sold 1t for a few
pence. ra
The Kohinoor, the largest diamond in
the possession of the British crown, is
believed to be the finest and purest in
existence. 1t also has the most singu-
lar history. The Indian legend says
that it was found in one of the Golcon-
da mines, near the Kishna river, and
was worn 5000 years ago by Karna, one
Of the heroes celebrated in the Mahab-
harata. 1t passed through many hands
TO Baber, founder of the Mogul dynasty,
IN 1926. Tavernier, the French explorer,
saw it in 1865.
1t was then of the shape of half an
egg and weighed $50 carats. 1t had
been reduced to that weight from 795&
,arats by an unskillful stonecutter.
In 1889 it passed to Nadir Shah, the
Persian invader of India, who gave ii its
name of Kohinoor, or mountain of light.
In 1S4a, when the conquest of the Pun
ah was finally completed, it was sur
rendered to the British, and in 1850 it
vas presented to Queen Victoria.
When 1t was shown In the exhibition
If 1857 In London it weighed 1875 1-16

Ind now weighs 106 1-16.

moor originally formed parts of the
