  This is a heartache, isn't it? The giant diamond of India, the Mountain of Light, was given to Queen Elizabeth in 1949. It was the prime jewel that adorned the famous Mughal Peacock Throne! There's a famous rumour of this jewel being a curse for men. So, it is passed from women to women of the royal family. It currently resides in the Jewel House inside the Tower of London.
