Learn about the mysterious Hope Diamond with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series.
The 45.52-carat Hope Diamond is the largest deep-blue diamond in the world. In its body of less than one cubic inch, it holds a history dripping with mystery, conspiracy and celebrity. It is now housed behind three inches of bulletproof glass in the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, and looks out at a world fixated with its beauty and history.
Originally 115 carats, the Hope Diamond was discovered in India by the French merchant-traveller Jean Tavernier, in the 1660s. Born in 1605, Tavernier was apprenticed to a jeweller at a young age. Later in life, between 1631 and 1638, he made six trips to India to obtain and trade diamonds.
Perfect to listen to while commuting, exercising, shopping or cleaning the house.. iMinds brings knowledge to your MP3 with 8 minute information segments to whet your mental appetite and broaden your mind.
