There is a long rich background behind the beautiful, large, blue diamond which is in
the Smithsonian's collection. Its luster and hue is an enigma. It is referred to as the Hope
Diamond, and has had many owners in the past. It had been owned at one time by Louis IVX
and was stolen during the French revolution. It actually had been used to pay off a gambling
debt and auctioned for a charity. Many have spoken of its curse. According to legend, the
diamond had originally been one of two eyes of an Idol in India. The eye that was stolen is

Diamond is displayed for all behind a protective glass case.
