Kohinoor half its original size: Anita Anand
UK-based Indian journalist Anita Anand has said that the Kohinoor we know today is half of its original size as Prince Albert had the coveted gem cut from best diamond cutters to add sheen to it. "Kohinoor was mocked in England as a lumpen piece of crystal which didn't sparkle. It just didn't shine," Anita said at Jaipur Literature festival.
