South - .i-'Z. Africa, in 1905 it was found that ';. aiiie wan m flat and smooth that it was considered to be only part of a much bigger diamond. The enormous half brother, however, has never been found although scientists, diamond min ers, financiers, geologists and thieve have been searching for It for 215 years. Its whereabouts nd even iU existence is one of die world's mysteries. South Africa abounds with strange stories of the missing half of the Cullinan diamond. One version is that it was found by a native worker in the diamond mines who feared to dispose of it because of the strict law governing the illicit selling of stones. A notorious criminal once almost had his hands on it, but he attempted to trick the nat- ive who was prepared to sell it to him and the native fled with the diamond. , Another story hat it that, tht diamond is still in tim ,ipasejMion of native tribesmen in te injp an berg district. , ,,.,t, . The British royal fsmUy however, seem to be satisfied , with the big sparklers they got from what may be only half of the Cullinan diamond. The stone which was found in 1006 briginally weighed 3026 carats. It was purchased by the Transvaal Government and presentee to King Edward. It was taken to Amsterdam and divided into nine large stones and several smaller ones. The two largest ones are 5164 carats and SOO',, carats, making them the largest diamonds in existence. A .
