RIO DE JANEIRO, May 16—The, largest rose diamond ever found in| Brazil, second in weight only to the | blue stone known as the Southern Star, | | was recently discovered in the state of | Minas Geraes. It was uncovered in the | | same mining section where the Southern | | Star was found in July, 1852. | |~ The new stone is now in possession | {of a jewelry firm here headed by Glen | R. Byrkett, an American. In the rough it weighs 111 carats and when cut, it is estimated, it will weigh 40 carats and | be_worth nearly $500,000. | |~ Experts say, too, that several smaller | perfect rose stones can be cut from the | | mass besides the principal diamond. | These would be worth about $10,000 a | carat. The diamond was found several weeks | ago on the Abete River in the Jaca dis- triot by a Brazilian prospector. He sold it for $10,000 and the second owners received $40,000 for it from the jewelers, An_Antwerp firm has cabled an offer | | of $44,000 for half of the stone, but this | has been refused. ‘ Special Dispatch to The Star.
