Queen Elizabeth's death has prompted calls to return 'stolen' 500 carat diamond in Crown jewels. South Africa is demanding UK to return the gem known to be the largest clear cut diamond in the world to the former British colony. Known as the 'Great Star of Africa', the diamond was cut from a larger gem mined in 1905. Demands for the return of the Great Star of Africa and other diamonds -- along with calls for repatriations -- have intensified since the Queen's death. Many South Africans view Britain's acquisition of the jewels as illegitimate.
