Koh-i-Noor, the Royal Precious Stone

  Portrayal of the Kohinoor Diamond:

The Kohinoor Diamond is time lined as one of the most renowned diamonds in the whole of the world. The Kohinoor diamond was 1st revealed or even talked in 1306 when it was squandered off from the Rajah of Malwa, whose family had possessed and owned this master of diamonds for centuries. It was portrayed as being evaluated to 186 carats and it even was an oval cut white diamond the second in the list of precious colored diamonds.

The Kohinoor was shaped and sized similar to that of a diminutive hen's egg. The Kohinoor diamond was owned by various Indian and Persian rulers and it even claimed its royal trail and became a part of the Crown Jewels of England at the time that Queen Victoria was decreed empress of India.

The Kohinoor was re-cut and chiseled off at this tenure and now it weighs as much as 108.93 carats and is reserved in the Tower of London.

Origin / Connotation of the name Kohinoor Diamond:

The Kohinoor (Koh-i-Noor) instigated from India in Golconda at the very Indian Kollur mine and was explicitly mined from the Rayalaseema (signifying Land of Stones) diamond mine during the period of the rule of the Kakatiya empires rule. The Kohinoor then travelled across from one ruling dynasty to the next as the empire kept throbbing for the Indian Territory. The primitive nomenclature of this precious stone was 'Samantik Mani' (which means Prince and leader among diamonds).

In 1739 the King of Persia, His highness Nadir Shah, plagued India and was alleged to be refer to as the diamond as the "Mountain of Light". The Persian-Arabic statements for "Mountain of Light" were Koh-i-Noor. The splendor of the diamond and its significance symbolized the supremacy of an Empire and hence the superiority of the King.

Curse of the stone and its present supremacy:

The blight of the hyper precious Kohinoor Diamond dates all the way back to a Hindu historical texts from the instance of the 1st authenticated manifestation of the stone in the early 13th centuries in 1306.The annoyance of the Kohinoor stone reads:

"He who possesses this diamond will claim the planet, but will in addition, will get to know all its adversities. Only divinity, or a lady, can sport it with harmony."

The record and subsists of the rulers who once owned the precious stone, the Kohinoor were crammed with violence, murders, disfigurements, torture and treachery. The British Royal families were perceptibly responsive of the Curse of the Kohinoor and from the sovereignty of Queen Victoria, when the Kohinoor diamond was transferred into their custody; it has for ever gone to the spouse of the male heir's throne to the British royal highness. It is currently kept in the Tower of London.
