Before departure, Wang Wu quietly gathered You Qing, Liutao, Li Feiwan, and Song Zuwan together, looking at the void, took out four dazzling large diamonds, and said with a smile: “This is yesterday. The owner of De Beers gave it to me, and I give it to you!”

Although Huqing, Liutao, Li Feiwan, and Song Group have heard Wang Wu’s high-level talk about diamonds, the long-term brainwashing advertisements of Delbis still made them not much change in their vanity of diamonds.

Hu Qing exclaimed: “This diamond is so big, if it comes out, it will definitely be a world-renowned diamond!”

Liu Tao said: “Yes, these diamonds can definitely be included in the top ten diamonds in the world!”

Song Zuya asked curiously: “Where are the top ten diamonds?’

Liu Tao smiled bitterly: “I just heard that there are top ten diamonds, but I don’t know what these top ten diamonds are, Angkor must know it!”

Wang Wu smiled slightly: “The first one is the Star of Africa, also called Cullinan. In January 1905, a colorless, transparent, flawless, and excellent texture weighing 31 06 carats was found in the South Fresh Diamond Mine. The rough diamond of the mine was named “Cullinan” after the mine manager at the time. This huge diamond was split into several large pieces and processed, and the processed finished diamonds totaled 1063.65 carats.

The larger diamond is named “Cullinan 1”, also known as “Star of Africa”, weighing 530.02 carats. This large diamond weighing 530.02 carats is a drop-shaped, 74-cut face, crystal clear and perfect.

The four women sighed, “We have heard of the star of Africa, this is indeed very famous!”

Cullinan’s discovery was quite accidental. In January 1905, at the Premier Mine, a manager named Wales occasionally saw a gleaming object exposed on the ground of the mine. He dug it out with a knife and saw that it was a huge diamond. At the fist of an adult man. It is pure and transparent, with a light blue hue, it is the best product

Grade diamond, until now, it is still the largest diamond found in the world.

Cullinan was sent to the most authoritative city where diamonds were polished at the time and handed over to Joaschar for processing at a cost of 80,000 pounds. Because the rough stone is too large, it needs to be broken into small pieces according to the plan in advance. The smashing work was carried out by Joascar, a famous craftsman in Holland. After Cullinan was split, three skilled craftsmen worked 14 hours a day for 8 months.

A total of 9 large diamonds and 96 small diamonds were polished. The total weight of these 105 diamonds is 1063.23765 carats, which is 34.25% of the original weight of Cullinan. It can be seen that after the diamond is processed into diamond, the weight loss is great. “Cullinan No. 1” is a pear-shaped, the heaviest of the three pieces, weighing 530.2 carats. This giant diamond is called the “Star of Africa”. It has 74 facets

. “Cullinan Second” is square and weighs 317.4 carats, “Cullinan Third” is pear-shaped and weighs 94.4 carats, and “Cullinan Fourth” is square and weighs 63.6 carats. It is divided by experts. The smallest piece of diamond is divided into two, namely “Cullinan third” and “Cullinan fourth”. .
