. . . Before this mighty diamond was cleaved ( it looked like a brick - as it was being held - in the hand of mr wells - the owner of the diamond mine - located in Africa ) then the history goes on the tell us - that the first largest pieces ( numbered as nine ) there were nine smaller diamonds - once it was split - and there after - its descriptive story notes that - there remained about three hundred salable smaller diamonds - and no doubt - and the rest as they say - pershaps - became varing grades of diamond dust - this is to say dear readers - that this mighty diamond - once it had been cut ( it basically hit the winds ) and it definitely does not look like it originally did - when it was first discovered ( the largest cut however - is resting on the tip of a sepcter ) ended up as personal property of the crown jewels of England - along with a few others of that number nine ( and would you believe it ( found some sort of mistake about one of the diamonds ) diamond number four ( was suppose to have been given to Jackie onassiss ) by her second husband ) back during the timespan of their courtship era - Jackie was suppose to have rec'ed ( 42.0ct ) a round center stone - but diamond number four - was fashioned into a cushion shaped center/stone/type diamond - saw the picture with my very own eyes ( round vs cushion ) so therefore - mrs onassiss round diamond came from some other diamond source - and to think i have been carrying this info in the recesses of my mind for years - but to answer the question ( the cullinan diamond - is a white diamond ) or a least all of its remaining pieces - do not propose to known ( the diamond expert ) answers to of the question - but speaking as laity ( with my love for these gems - and my hope to own a sizable one in the future ) trust that i have shared a thought or two on the matter - as it were . . .
