YHg LARGEST OF DIAMONDS.


Uncut 1t Weighed Nearly Half Pound
and II Is of the First water.
No single object exhibited mt the
Paris Exposition even remotely ap-
proaches in value the cleaning "Ju-
bilee' diamond, as it has been called
in commemoration Of the jubilee of the
reign of the Queen Of England. 1t IS n
diamond Of the first water and of a
beauty and size that leave anything
known heretofore far behind. This
largest and most costly Of all dia-
monds weighs in it's present shape 230
karats, while the next largest, VIZ, the
"Orloff," crOwning the Russian i'm
perial sceptre, weighs but one hun
dred and ninety-four and half
karats. Also as regards whiteness
and fire, as well as in the wonderful
perfection Of it's cut, the Jubilee eT-
cells all its rivals.
For the time being this Goliath
among precious stones is still owned
by a syndicate of capitalists connected
with the Jagersfontein mine, in which
ii was found. With regard to the price
one can hardly speak about that until
the stone has been sold, an event
which is doubtless not going to take
place in a hurry, for the guard sta
toned by the showcase containing the
sparkling gem gives its value at 5000
600 francs, whether correctly or not is
hard to say. Only one thing seems as
sured. namely, that the stone shown to
the admiring crowds in the palais on
the Esplanade des Inyalides is paste,
while its original is kept somewhere
in secure custody.
This gem was found on June 3O
1893, at Jagersfontein, in the Orange
Free State. The stone was picked up
by native while he was leading q
truck, and although n white Overseer
was standing near him he managed
TO secrete it and kept it on his person
for some time. In this case, however
it did not appear that he proposed
stealing the gem, but only wished to
deliver it personally to the manager.
This he did and as a bonus he received
ESQ and a horse, saddle and bride.
The diamond weighed in the rough ex-
actly nine hundred and seyenty-One
and three-quarter karats, or about sew
en- and one-tenth ounces avoirdupois.
Unfortunately it had a black spot
about the middle, but it was so placed
as to allow the stone being cut into
two with the spot falling out.-Jewel.
