Diamond is a crystalline form of carbon that is reputed to be the hardest material known to humanity. Translucent, incandescent, 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, 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]
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 and has been traded hands a number of times in recorded history.[2][3][4]
In 1830, Ranjit Singh acquired the Koh-i-Noor diamond, serving 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 summer palace in 1839, the Maharaja handed Bustee Ram the copy and told him to take it to his treasure chamber under the palace.[2][5][6]
In 1850, a replica of the diamond was confiscated by the British East India Company and became part of the British Crown Jewels when Queen Victoria was proclaimed Empress of India in 1877. [citation needed]
