WORLDS LARGEST JEWEL
IN HANDS OF LAPIDARY
Black Opal Found in Nevada, Val

CHICAGO, March 9 Especially The
worlds largest jewel. a black opal
found in Nevada in 1917, has been
placed in the hands of a lapidary
TO be cut and polished. Several ten
tative bids have been made for it by
millionaires. The highest. so far, it
is said. was $250.000. The opal. whose
discovery. kept secret for two years.
was announced only last fall, weighs
Is $40 ounces avoirdupois, or more
than one pound. In gem Technology,
it weighs 1856 carats
The CuIlinan diamond discovered
in the Premier mine in South Africa
in 1908, was the largest gem ever
found. II weighed in the rough
3.025A carats. and measured 4x2 l2 X
3 5-16x3Bx2h inches. These figures
give the Cullinan diamond a bulk of
Is cubic inches and the new opal 21.S2
cubic inches. The Cullinan diamond
was about as large as base ball.
The opal is as large as d quarter of
a brick. If the Cullinan had been
an opal il would have weighed only
1929 carats. because 4the SPECIFIC
gravity of diamonds is 15 per cent
greater than that of opals.
Discovery of this opal in America
created furore among scientists. be-
cause il was believed that the only

Australia, where the supply is said

the opal in the last few years has
lost its repute as Il bad-luck stone
and has steadily gained in popularity.
