QUEEN WEARING
FAMOUS DIAMOND
GlhBan Stone Believed 10 Be
Cut in Halt

London. Nov. 6.-lR-The state
opening Of parliament today by King
George with Queen Mary by his side
wearing the Cullinan diamond. the
largest in the world and estimated to
be worth up to $25.000.O0O. has re-
vived the speculation over what be-
came of the other half" OF the
great stone.
When the Cullinan diamond was
dug from the earth at the Premier
mines at Cullinan. South Africa. in
1905 1t was found that one side was
SO flat and smooth that it was con-
sidered to be only part of much
bigger diamond. The enormous half
brother, however, has never been
found. although scientists. diamond
miners. financiers. biologists and
thieves have been searching for it
for 70 years. Its whereabouts and
even its existence is one Of the
worlds mysteries.
Many Tales
South Africa abounds with strange
etVlIcS VI llle IilISSlH6 Ildll Vi Tic Sui-
Imam diamond. One version is that 1t
was found by a native worker in the
diamond mines who feared to dis
pose Of it because OF the strict law
governing the illicit selling of stones
A notorious criminal once almost had
his hands on it. but he attempted to
trick the native who was prepared
to sell 1t to him and the native fled
with the diamond.
Another story has 1t that the dia-
mond is still in the possession of
native tribesmen in the Zoupansberg
district.
The. British Royal family, however.
seem to be satisfied with the big
sparklers they got from what may
be only half of the Cullinan diamond.
The stone which was found in 1906
originally weighed 3,025 ga carats
1t was purchased by the Transvaal
government and presented to King
Edward 1t was taken to Amsterdam
and divided into nine large stones
and several smaller ones. The two
largest ones are SIG IL carats and
800 sic carats, making them the
largest diamonds in existence.
