One of the most amusing experiences in the
long history of the Nassak came when the
matter of its entrance was being argued in the
Government appraisers court in Manhattan
1t was necessary to take the Nassak from a
safe well up town to the courtroom. Fearing
thieves and hold-ups it was at first decided to
send the custodian with a small regiment of
armed guards. This, on second thought,
seemed likely to attract too much public atten-
ton to its whereabouts
Whereupon the representative merely stuck
a subway and rode for half hour with no
one suspecting the treasure he carried.
And just as casually it was introduced to
New York not long ago, with M. Claudel, the
French Ambassador, officiating at the ceremony.
So it happens that today the third eye" Of

F. a hardy modern purchaser some day steps
into the shoes of the heather worshipers or
the dazzling Duke of Westminster he will never
dare for minute to relax the vigilance of the
hard-eyed detectives.
For the Nassak is marked; it can scarcely
change hands without common knowledge.
And modern diamond thieves have brought
their methods up to date. Already the game
of the diamond trimmer" is well known to
the detectives of jewery underwriters.
Such diamonds as the Nassak are always
covered by a blanket insurance policy but the
trimmer" discounts this. His game is to stage
a fake robbery or disappearance which will
enable the insurance on the diamond to be
collected.

A carats has achieved more prominence per-

carry to all who possessed it.
In the world of diamonds however, the prize
went to the Cullinan, found in the Transvaal,
a gorgeous solid mass of more than 5000 carats.
So great its estimated value that syndi-
cate had to be formed to buy it and it had to
be cut into nine stones.
AS for the Nassak one of its chief claims to
a sort of precious Immortality is not only its
god, but also that its original cut has escaped
the successive retouches which owners Of most
historic stones have insisted upon.
Ancient gems have completely disappeared
through recuttings subdivision into smaller
stones. Before the Koh-i-noor was recut, 1t
and the Nassak were of the same shape and
appearance giving rise to theory that they
came from similar temples and were first
handled by the same workmen.

simple matter 1t was under constant guard
during the trip. And it so happens that even
the smallest custom house records keep photo

gems, which include the Nassak.
Then came litigation over its entrance as a
museum piece. To bring 1t In under customs
duty would have involved perhaps prohibitive
fee. Thus 1t has been only recently that its
exhibition became possible, though new Govern

now.
