After prolonged study it was decided to first cleave the diamond into ten pieces: this operation which was performed by Mr. A. Asscher, resulting in the three largest pieces weighing 158, 147 and 130 carats. The polishing was supervised by Henry Koe and yielded 21 gems, ranging from 70 carats to less than 1 carat. They totalled 373.75 carats which represented a loss in weight of almost 63 percent. The final result, however, was considered to have been better than anyone had expected. tekst Reginald Ko2

His eye running along the site of a deep excavation suddenly caught the gleam of something flashing high on the bank. Climbing up, he first tried to pull it out with his fingers, then broke a knife blade in the process, by which time he realized he had hold of a very large stone. It was so large that he began to doubt that the object really was a diamond. He said himself : "When I took a good look at the stone stuck there in the pit, it suddenly flashed across me that I had gone insane that the whole thing was imaginary.

It was decided to divide the stone into three almost equal parts. The cutting was begun on Feb. 10, 1908, but not till the end of October was the work completed on the largest section alone. While the cutting nowadays, with the improveds given 74 facets, too little, some think, to bring out its full beauty ; the second, a square English cut brilliant, 309 3/16, with 66 facets ; the third furnishing several gems, varying all the way from 92 to the most minute.
