NASSAK STONE SUBJECT OF TEST ONANTIQUELAW ■■ \ Famous Diamond's Entry Figures In Test Case of Supreme Court Washington, April 21 (UP) The great Nassak diamond, one of the world's oldest, larges and most, famous jewels, is the subject of a court fight here to determine whether a cut stone, no matter how ancient, is u work of art or artisiamt When the huge 78-carat stone was brought into this country recently from England, New Nork customs officials ordered the (tegular duty bo paid, holding tiie diamond was not an an ique and therefore not duty free. An appeal from this decision was filed with the U. S. Court of Customs Appeals which prepared today to hear agrunients in the case. An interesting history is connected with the Nassak diamond. Its discovery dates back hundreds oil years. In an East Indian town, 45 miles from Bombay, are many pre-historic cave temples. It was in one of these Hindu temples that the stone, supposedly the gift of a worshipper, was found. Originally it weighed 89% carats, but in cutting facets was reduced to 7S enough to make 200 ordinary engagement solitaries. After passing through the hands of scores of native pt ince u s, it was acquired over a century ago by the East Indian Company and sent lo England. There, too, it was sold and resold, until finally purchased by I the Marquis of Westminister, where it lapsed in o obscurity again tin’il bought by the New York importing! flint. The pending court fight has attracted the attention of art dealers throughout the country. They be-|l lieve there business mav seriously I
