The eight largest diamonds in the
world are what are known as crown
Jewels, and their weight is given below.
Some of them are IN an uncut state
and others are carefully cut and I'M
tshed so that there is a wide diffe1suce
In their value. The kohinoor, the
smallest in weight has been thus re-
luced by cutting and is much the most
valuable of the lot and has been es-
.imated at s2,000.0o0. None OF these
mentioned is estimated at less than
100000. The list is as follows: The
