Cullinan Diamond


This is the largest diamond in the world. This is our favorite diamond. It is 530 carats and it is shaped like a pear! It was found in South Africa and is named the Cullinan or the Star of Africa. Cullinan I was placed by King Edward in the Sovereign's Royal Sceptre as part of the Crown Jewels, and it is now on display in the tower of London. Estimated value is over $400 million! Wow!

I love the Cullinan diamond because it is 500 carats and I like it because it is sparkling! It looks like stars live on the diamond.
