The Cullinan diamond is the largest rough gem-quality diamond ever found at 3,106.75 carrots. The Cullinan was cut into 9 parts, and the largest polished gem from the diamond is known as the Cullinan I and weighs in at 530.4 carrots. It was the largest polished gem until the discovery of the Golden Jubilee diamond at 545.67 carrots found in 1985. Both diamonds are from the premier mine. The Cullinan I was given to King Edward VII and is estimated to be worth $400 million.
This diamond holds great worth and it's beauty is unparralleld. In the same manner that this diamond holds great worth to the British Crown today, there is something which God holds to be valuable and precious, that is our salvation.
In the same manner that the Cullinan was struck to slit it and have it polished into a precious gem, Jesus was struck during his persecution before going to the cross. He was indeed wounded our transgressions and our acceptance of him as Lord and Saviour is the most precious act we could we could ever give God.
You are valuable to God! More than you could ever imagine!
