13. 1861 Anon ("E.L.L"): Article "Precious Stones" in "Temple Bar", a London Magazine ed. Augustus Sala |George Augustus Sala , vol. III. November 1861, p. 377. https://www.google.co.za/books/edition/Temple_Bar/3Po7AQAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=paragon+diamond&pg=PA379&printsec=frontcover

The "Koh-i-noor," or "Mountain of Light," is the eighth and smallest of these paragon diamonds (all diamonds weighing over a hundred carats are called Paragon); but it was originally the largest diamond ever known, weighing uncut 900 carats. . . It is believed that the Koh-i-noor and the Orloff are one and the same diamond, and that, if they could be reunited, they would make up the size and weight described by Tavernier, and prove to be this matchless gem of 900 carats which once belonged to the Great Mogul, and was the very paragon of paragons. Since the Mountain of Light came into the possession of the English it has been cut as a brilliant, whereby it has been still further diminished in weight, but enhanced in value and beauty. . .Next to the Paragons come a few highly celebrated diamonds, of rare value and beauty, but below the paragon standard of a hundred carats. There is the "Shah of Persia," with its curious inscription of Indian possessors, now belonging to Russia — a long irregular prism weighing 863 carats. . .
