The Mountain of Light diamond is produced in the Kola mine in India. The original stone weighed 800 carats and was considered by people at that time as a gift from God to faithful believers. At first, this diamond was ground into a rose shape, weighing 1, 9 1 carat, and was taken away by Sultan babar, who established the Mughal Empire.
This diamond became the national treasure of the Mughal Empire. However, many years later, the king of Persia paid tribute to Mughal and took possession of the diamond. When the Persian emperor saw this diamond for the first time, he shouted "Mountain of Light", hence the name of the Mountain of Light.
Later, the Persian monarch was assassinated, and one of his generals took the Mountain of Light to Kabul and presented it to the King of Afghanistan. Later, he traveled around in the19th century and was brought back to India by the King of the Sikh Kingdom. But after the death of the king, there was a coup in the court of Sikh kingdom, and his son went to England with the East India Company to dedicate the Mountain of Light to Queen Victoria.
When the Queen of England saw the diamond, she ordered the craftsman to remove the flaws on it and set the diamond and the cut gravel in the Queen's crown. At this time, the weight was reduced again, leaving only 108.93 carats.
Later, after the death of Queen Victoria, this diamond was set in the crowns of other queens and finally in Elizabeth's crown. Now it is kept in the Tower of London, where jewelry should be kept.
India has repeatedly proposed to Britain to return this gem, but it was rejected by Britain. Britain said it was given to Victoria that year. How can it be returned at will? If it were not for Britain, it would be difficult for India to move towards a normal path now.
