I actual have heard that 2 best diamonds contained in the international were taken from India through the invading military of Iran less than king Nader , They were said as Kooh-i-Noor ( mountain of sunshine ) and Daryay-I-Noor ( sea of sunshine ) one replaced into later stolen through the British and is at present contained in the British museum . And the different continues to be in Iran and is part of the Royal jewels . they're both powerful .

Who cares?! Diamonds are a total crock of S**T trumped up by companies like DeBeers. Diamonds aren't even all that rare there are vaults and vaults and vaults full of them all over the world. Give me aquamarine and alexandrite any day!
