At 3,106 carats, The Cullinan Diamond remains the largest gem-quality uncut diamond ever found. The Transvaal government purchased the stone and gifted it to King Edward VII. The huge uncut stone was cut to create nine major stones and 96 smaller brilliants in all. The two largest stones were named the Cullinan I and the Cullinan II. They are set in the Sovereign’s Sceptre with Cross, and the front band of the Imperial State Crown, held at the Tower of London.
