Queen Mary,s New Diamonds.

Six diamonds, cut out of the famou.
Cullinan stone, and mounted as orna
ments, were presented to Queen Mary
by Sir Richard Solomon, high com
missioner of the union of South Africa
on behalf of the government and PEG
pie, and in commemoration of the es
tablishment of the union.
The two largest of the diamonds
which are considered by experts tt
be Of matchless quality Zone weigh:
go and the other 81 karats), have
been mounted as a pendant; three
averaging about 10 karats each, have
been mounted as a small pendant, ant
the sixth. as a ring.
In 1907 Sir Richard Solomon pre-
scented the original Cullinan diamond
weighing about 5000 karats, more
than three times the size of the larg
est diamond previously discovered, t
King Edward, as an expression Of thu
feeling Of loyalty and attachment o
the people Of the T%ransvaal.
The stone was cut into two larg'
pieces, which are kept among the his
toric jewels forming the heirlooms o
the crown, and the stones now pre-
sented to the queen are the residu
of the original gem.
