Diamonds are both the most precious in the world and the hardest substance in the world. It has a history of at least 4 billion years and is almost as long as the earth. Its chemical composition is mainly carbon, which burns at very high temperatures and produces carbon dioxide with little ash. It is precisely because of this beauty and purity, both hard and intangible characteristics, giving the diamonds a mysterious color.
According to records, 3,000 years ago, the first diamond was discovered in the Krishna Valley of ancient India. People don’t know what it is and regard it as a mana with exorcism. Therefore, in Sanskrit, the word diamond is the meaning of thunder and lightning, in order to express the belief that diamonds are born of lightning. The ancient Greeks believed that diamonds were fragments of stars that had fallen to the earth. Some even thought that diamonds were the tears of the gods, or they were formed by the condensation of Tianshui or Tianlu. In ancient legends, diamonds were once thought to be able to avoid demons. Some people think that swallowing diamond powder can eliminate toxins and prevent madness.
In the Middle Ages, Westerners believed that diamonds were invincible symbols, representing courage and masculinity. Only royal aristocrats were qualified to wear diamonds. Until the 15th century, the wedding proposal presented a diamond wedding ring to a girl to become a ceremony for the marriage contract. As a result, the traditional ring with diamonds became a western marriage contract culture. The diamond rings at that time were all inlaid with the natural crystals of diamonds, that is, diamond blanks that had not been precision cut, far less brilliant than today's finely crafted diamonds.
In the 16th century, the polishing and cutting of diamonds became more and more widely used, and it began to become an indispensable token in the royal court and wedding ceremony. In 1919, Tokovsky's cut form based on the optical properties of diamonds was seen as the basis for modern diamond cutting. Diamonds of various shapes, such as squares, horse-eyes, ovals, triangles, and trapezoids, appeared one after another. In 1953, the 4C standard of diamonds was released. Quality, clarity, quality, and cut-off became the criteria for judging the level of diamonds and guiding people's consumption orientation.
Any name drill has a regularity, that is, many times change the owner, and few people can hold it all the time. In 1304, a large diamond was discovered in the Golconda region of India, known as the "great horse fruit" diamond. It weighs 793.50 carats, is as large as half an egg, colorless and transparent, and dazzling. However, its crystal form is incomplete and is fragmented. Because this "great horse" diamond brought the ultimate temptation to people, it was stolen soon after, and after several twists and turns, it was dedicated to Queen Victoria of England. After careful planning by a professional driller, it is cut and honed into several diamonds. One of them weighs 186.10 carats and is named "Mountain of Light"; the other weighs 186.90 carats and is called "Orlov". No one had thought that this diamond that was opened up was dazzling, but it brought infinite disasters to people, and countless people died of it because of it.
The Queen's crown is encrusted with 2,800 diamonds, the most eye-catching of which comes from the "Mountain of Light" on the cross at the top of the crown. This "mountain of light" is a symbol of wealth and power, and the bane of bloodshed and death. According to the literature, for 700 years, this diamond has caused countless bloody massacres and battles. Many monarchs who once owned it will eventually escape bad luck. There is a passage in the Hindu scriptures: "Whoever owns it has the whole world; whoever owns it has to bear the catastrophe it brings. Only God or a woman who owns it will not suffer any punishment. â€
After countless bloody hurricanes, this diamond was finally owned by Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom as described in the Hindu scriptures, and it was temporarily peaceful. Although Queen Victoria owns this diamond, she has also been attacked twice by the "Mountain of Light" diamond. Almost no one in the Royal Chaise who owns it has ever worn it. It has been treasured in the Tower of London, symbolizing the supremacy of the British monarchy, and silently recording its long history of bloody blood.
In 1997, when Queen Elizabeth II visited India, she encountered a common problem: Sikhs in Punjab asked the Queen to return the Diamond of the Light. The request was made by a peasant who claimed to be a descendant of the king of Sikh, Dulip Singh, who wrote to Buckingham Palace and Prime Minister Blair to demand the return of diamonds. But the British certainly cannot admit that he is the true owner of this diamond.
No one knows if the "Mountain of Light" is owned by a woman, and whether its curse can be eliminated. Just like the mountains of light, the history of other famous giant diamonds Orlov, Hope, Wittelsbach, Dresden, etc. are also full of bloody hurricanes, they have experienced countless killings and Struggle, repeated times. This proves that these famous diamonds do not belong to anyone, and anyone in front of them is just a passing passenger. Compared with these cursed diamonds, many other famous diamonds do not necessarily have such a cruel experience. They are similar to any cultural relics in the historical perspective to witness the transformation and development of human society. War and killing may be human beings. History of development.
