Fact: The Cullinan Diamond was discovered in 1905 at the Premier Mine in Pretoria, South Africa. Weighing an astonishing 3,106 carats, it remains the largest rough diamond ever found. Named after Thomas Cullinan, the mine’s chairman, the gem was later cut into nine major stones and around 100 smaller ones. The largest, known as the “Star of Africa I” or “Cullinan I,” weighs 530 carats and is the largest cut, fine-quality, colorless diamond in the world. The second largest, the “Star of Africa II” or “Cullinan II,” weighs 317 carats. Both stones, along with the “Cullinan III,” are on display in the Tower of London.
