'Queen of Kilimanjaro' tiara on display at ROM

1. Queen of Kilimanjaro, a spectacular tiara featuring the world’s largest faceted tanzanite (242 carats), accented with 803 brilliant cut tsavorite garnets and 913 brilliant cut diamonds.


Today I went to the Royal Ontario Museum with my Mother and younger cousins, this was my favourite exhibition on display . "An astounding array of gems, with few rivals outside of the royal collections, from the private collection of Michael Scott, first CEO of Apple."
