A Remarkable Diamond.
There will be offered for sale by auction at Foster's Gallery in Pall Mall, a remarkable diamond, known as the Orange Diamond, weighing 115 carats, about 10 carats heavier than the Koh-i-noor. This stone was found in the Orange river, and is of a decided orange hue. It was cut in London, and was intended as a Jubilee gift to the Queen, but Her Majesty does not seem to have received it. It is stated that at no London auction has so large a brilliant been offered for public competition.
