Friends I have a doubt if Indian mines have ever produced a blue diamond in any era. I have heard about Kohinoor Diamond. It is auspicious and magnificent diamond which Shah Jahan had used in building the world famous monument Taj Mahal.

In the year 1642, the most famous blue diamond known as "The hope Diamond" was found in India. It was cut from the 'Tavernier blue'. This rare specimen can be viewed today at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C.

This is amazing. I have curiosity to see this diamond.

I like ornaments of diamond.

Blue diamonds usually contain nitrogen impurities in aggregate form.

Hope Diamond is the largest and the most famous Blue diamond that world has seen and it has a chequered history with no one knowing from where it originated from? Many accounts suggest that it is from India..It is also said to be cursed..

Even I have never come across a blue diamond before. Perhaps you should search Google for your query.

I have read about the Hope Diamond and it does have a bloody history, those who came in possession of it have all known to be died quite violently. Actually I do not believe the curse if due to the beauty of the diamond, it is more the curse of the greed of people who will do any thing to possess it!

Here's the link to the complete history of the Hope Diamond as recorded by the Smithsonian:
