Best Answer

The 3,106 carat stone you reference is the rough diamond stone found in Africa, from which The Cullinan Diamonds were 'chipped'. That many carats weights about one and a third pounds.

You can see in the photo, link below, of the largest of these 'chips' what a 503+ carat, cut and polished stone looks like in the hands of the jeweler.

This means that the 3,000 plus carat stone -- the uncut, rough stone, was about six times the size of the stone in the top photo.

An archive photo of the raw stone is visible further down the page. The stone appears to fill a man's hand.


Some rough diamonds are shaped like two pyramids, joined at the base. This stone, however, appears to be shaped asymmetrically.
