History Of Indian Diamond: There were many such rare diamonds present in India at one time, whose value is in billions today. They are mentioned every now and then. Let us tell you about them today.

India was once called the golden bird. But foreign invaders looted everything from here. India used to have many rare diamonds, some of which have disappeared, some are adorning foreign museums. Recently, news has come that the historical diamond Golconda Blue, a symbol of India's royal heritage, will be put up for auction in Geneva on May 14. In this connection, let us tell you which rare diamonds India used to have, some of which have become anonymous.

Before the discovery of diamond mines in South Africa and Brazil in the 18th century, the diamonds from India's Golconda mine were famous all over the world.

The world's most valuable diamond, Kohinoor, was mined from the Golconda mine. It was mined in the 13th century and is currently in the British Crown.

The second finest and heaviest diamond is named Great Mughal. It is 280 carats. When this diamond was mined from Golconda in 1650, its weight was 787 carats, but later it was polished to become 280 carats.

The Agra Diamond and the Ahmedabad Diamond have been included in the list of unknown Indian diamonds for a long time. The Ahmedabad Diamond was acquired by Babur after defeating King Vikramaditya of Gwalior in the Battle of Panipat in 1526. Its weight is 71 carats.

The Agra Diamond is of light pink colour and is 32.2 carats. This rare diamond was last seen in the auction of Christle Auction House, London in 1990. Since then it is missing.

The story of The Regent diamond is also similar that it was taken out from the mine of Golconda around 1702. At that time its weight was 410 carats. Now this diamond has become 140 carats and is kept in the Lavor Museum of Paris.

The Brolity of India diamond is 90.08 carats. It is said to be older than Kohinoor. The Queen of France bought it in the 12th century. Today it is somewhere in Europe.

The story of the disappearance of the Orlov diamond is also similar that in the 18th century, this 200 carat diamond was stolen by a French merchant from the eye of an idol in a temple in Mysore.
