Great Cullinan Diamond Polishing Details Revealed
Consul Henry H. Morgan of Amsterdam describes the polishing process of the Cullinan diamond. The stone was cleaved into three parts to remove flaws, with models tested first, and it now undergoes months of polishing at high speed under heavy pressure. The final form is expected to be pear shaped and vastly larger than the Excelsior, with an estimated value around two and a half million dollars, potentially priceless. The gem was sent to the King of England after years in a Transvaal vault set to deliver within seven to eleven months.
