Reply to comment by Randomswedishdude in TIL The largest diamond ever found was the Cullinan Diamond, which was discovered in South Africa in 1905. It weighed 3,106.75 carats (over 1.2 pounds) and was cut into nine separate stones, including the Great Star of Africa, which is the largest clear-cut diamond in the world at 530.2 carats. by mic3ttaa

a brilliant is a stone. It clearly says "105 stones of assorted cuts" in the specifications of the diamond. There's only one right. There are 105 stones, 9 of them are just big. It is categorically incorrect to say there were only 9 stones.
