Story of the Cullinan Diamond :"In 1905, transport from South Africa to England posed a bit of a security problem. Detectives from London were placed on a steamer ship that was rumoured to carry the stone, but this was a diversionary tactic. The stone on that ship was a fake, meant to attract those who would be interested in stealing it. The actual diamond was sent to England in a plain box via parcel post, albeit registered mail."One of my favourite stories. It was then made into nine different stones used in the British Crown Jewels and can be pieced together in different ways. Transformers diamonds.
