THE BRAZILIAN.

An Unauthorized Title--The Rough Diamond mentioned by Mawe.

We have given this vague title to a stone of which our knowledge is no less vague. All that seems to be known regarding it is conveyed in the subjoined brief notice occurring at p. 46 of Mawe's often quoted book:--

"An individual lately received a rough diamond from Brazil, above 90 carats, which, when formed into a brilliant, weighed nearly 32 carats; it cost pound 200 in workmanship."
