RULE DIAMOND IS SUBJECT TO $50,000 DUTY U. S. Court Hands Down Decision on Great Nassak Gem. B'i T'nitrd Prrrs WASHINGTON. June 4 The United States court of customs appeals ruled today that the great Nassak diamond, which began its interesting history in the eye of an Indian idol many centuries ago, is a “precious stone’ and not an “artistic antiquity," and therefore, subject to a duty of approximately $50,000 or 20 per cent of its value. The court reversed the opinion of the United States customs court at New York, which ruled the diamond could be admitted duty free. The lower court's decision was challenged by jewelers who feared the huge diamond, which we.ghs seventy-five and five-eighths carrats, could be cut into smaller stones and sold In competition with other stones. The Nassak diamonds modern history begins with the British conquest of India by Warren Hastings. When first taken from an Indian potentate by British troops in 1818, the stone weighed eighty-nine carats, but since has been cut down. Since the stone's importation here in 1927, it has been on display in a New York jewelry shop, but no one yet has come forward to pay the high price demanded. Centuries ago 'the diamond adorned the head of a magnificent Indian idol of the god Sh.vA in a temple on the banks of the Gcdavery river. Through the hands of many potentates it passed until it came to the marquis of Westminster, with whom it remained until 1926, when Mauboussin bough! it for sale to some American millionaire. In some species of the whale the throat is so small that an orange can not be swallowed.
