The Legend of the Koh-I-Noor DiamondAs with many legendary diamonds and gems, there are contrasting stories and rumors as to the origins of the Koh-I-Noor, some believe it was a gift to the earth from Surya (the god of the sun), and that evidence of its existence can be found in ancient Sanskrit writings, dating back over 5000 years ago. Some Hindus believe it was stolen from the great god Krishna as he lay asleep, whilst some say the Koh-I-Noor was in fact the Syamantaka jewel, another famous precious stone from Indian mythology, believed to be blessed with great magical powers.The first real evidence of the Koh-I-Noor can be found in the memoirs of Barbur, the founder and first leader of the Mogul Empire. Barbur recorded the diamond amongst the treasures of Ala-ud-deen (better known to some as Aladdin), and it was said to have been won in battle in Malwah, 1304 AD.It was in 1526 when it was obtained by the Moguls. Here it was said to be at its weight of 793 carats but after some awful cutting and polishing by the Emperor's jeweller, Borgio, the stone was reduced to just 186 carats, and Borgio was said to have been severally punished!http://www.gemselect.com/other-info/koh-i-noor-diamond.phpTHE JEWEL WITH A BLOODY PASTThe diamond, shown as part of Queen Alexandra's 1902 crown, is now set in a Maltese Cross in the Queen Mother's crownThe Koh-i-noor, which means 'Mountain of Light' in Urdu, was first recorded in 1306. A Hindu text at the time said: 'Only God or woman can wear it with impunity'.Rulers fought over it for centuries before Britain took it as part of the Treaty of Lahore, when it took control of the Punjab, in 1849.The jewel was seized by the Empire's East India Company as one of the spoils of war and presented to Queen Victoria in 1850.Prince Albert ordered the diamond, then weighing 186 carats, be recut to improve its brilliance.It was reduced in weight by 42 per cent and cut into an oval brilliant weighing 109 carats.The Koh-i-noor was then mounted into Victoria's crown among 2,000 other diamonds.It passed to consorts Queen Alexandra in 1902 and Queen Mary in 1911 for their coronation crowns and then to the late Queen Mother in 1937, being set in a Maltese Cross.The Queen Mother's crown is on display in the Tower of London with the Crown Jewels. It sat on top of her coffin as she lay in state in Westminster Hall in 2002.The diamond is the third largest in the Crown collection, behind the Cullinan 1 and 2 jewels cut from the Cullinan diamond - the largest rough diamond ever found. They are set in the Sovereign's sceptre with cross and the Imperial State Crown.Indian and Pakistani authorities have long demanded the diamond's return. In 1976, prime minister Jim Callaghan refused a request to hand it back, writing: 'I need not remind you of the various hands through which the stone has passed over the past two centuries, nor that explicit provision for its transfer to the British Crown was made in the peace treaty with the Maharajah of Lahore which concluded the war of 1849.'I could not advise Her Majesty the Queen that it should be surrendered.'Full Article plus Photos@Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2282104/The-Koh-noor-diamond-stay-Britain-says-Cameron-rules-returning-gem-India-final-day-visit.html#ixzz2LZ9a5GBcI feel that the Diamond must be returned to its rightful owner or strange mysterious things will happen just because of THE KOH - I -NOOR DIAMOND...also I believe that it should never have been cut and shaped but kept in its original form.Lord Krishna materialised the KOH-I-NOOR Diamond from the Spiritual World.
