(First comments)[edit]

Not sure that the last sentence is right: The largest cut white (D) diamond by weight is the 1991 heart-shaped 273.85-carat Centenary diamond

The Cullinan I or the Star of Africa in the British Crown Jewels is the largest cut white diamond, more than 500 carat...! michael_nord@hotmail.com

The Cullinan I is no a top colour (D) diamond. Daevas 17:37, 27 August 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]


Why is there no picture of the Millennium Star? There's a picture of the Heart of Eternity. Why is it called a "star" when it's obviously a pear shape? Why didn't they just cut it round? Does anyone know about this? ForestAngel 20:53, 5 January 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:De Beers Millenium Star.jpg[edit]

Image:De Beers Millenium Star.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Puzzle[edit]

As there is only one diamond mine in Mbuji-Mayi, I am not sure why the mine of origin is unknown. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.82.65.25 (talk) 14:11, 8 November 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Which English?[edit]

The text would seem to be in American English; is that appropriate? the strongest national tie for this stone would be South Africa, I would think; don't they use Commonwealth English there? Moonraker12 (talk) 23:05, 23 December 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
