The fabled Koh-i-Noor diamond Koh-i-Noor, Persian for "Mountain of Light" is one of the world's most famous diamonds. Oddly, though, it is neither the largest or the finest. There are differing stories about the origins of the stone. One Indian legend claims it emerged 5,000 years ago in ancient India and was first known to be in the possession of Sultan Baber, founder of the Mughal Empire. Whatever the truth, we know that the East India Company took it from India to England in 1852, where it was presented to Queen Victoria. The stone had been poorly cut in India, supposedly from its original 787 carat size, to 186 carats. Prince Albert had the stone cut again in London, so that it is now 108 carats in a shallow rose cut.
