Koh-i-Noor

Diamond is a crystalline form of carbon that is reputed to be the hardest material known to humanity. Translucent and colorless to the semblance of purity, it has traditionally been considered among the most valuable of precious stones, alongside the ruby, sapphire, emerald, and amethyst.

History

During his time in Rome, the Italian Assassin Ezio Auditore procured three Indian diamonds as a favor for the blacksmith of Tiber Island, receiving in return a couple of pieces of the Seusenhofer Armor.[1]

In September 1792, the French Crown Jewels were stolen. Among the most famous gems were the Regent Diamond; the Sancy, a pale yellow diamond that Louis XIV liked to affix to his hat; and the most famous, the Tavernier Blue or French Blue, a crudely finished stone brought from the colonies in the Indies.[2] French Assassin Arno Dorian recovered three diamonds, one of them the Tavernier Blue, and saw that they were returned to the National Convention.[3]

In 1868, the twins Jacob and Evie Frye used a black diamond to craft an Assassin Gauntlet.[4]

The Koh-I-Noor

Main article: Koh-i-Noor

The Isu Piece of Eden known as the Koh-i-Noor takes the form of a great diamond. Possession of it has changed hands countless times throughout recorded history.[5][6][7] In 1830, Ranjit Singh acquired the Koh-i-Noor diamond and served as its keeper for nine years. He hid the real artifact in a secret chamber beneath his summer palace and wore a fake replica of it on his wrist. During a feast at his palace in 1839, the Maharaja handed Bustee Ram the copy and told him to take it to his treasure chamber under the palace.[5][8][9] In 1850, the British East India Company confiscated a replica of the diamond and it became part of the British Crown Jewels when Queen Victoria was proclaimed Empress of India in 1877.[5]
