Country of origin South Africa

Ashberg Diamond is a diamond, which was once included in the Russian Crown Jewels. It weighs 102.48 carats (20.496 g).

This is believed to have been mined in South Africa, because of its characteristics. In 1934 the Russian Trade Delegation sold the diamond to Mr. Ashberg, a leading Stockholm banker.[1]

The House of Tabbah sold it to another private collector. A diamond of this size and unusual coloring is very rare. When it has a history which connects it with dethroned royalty it develops an aura of mystique. [2] [3]
