Today's episode is dedicated to a gem that is probably more famous for the rumors and often false history surrounding it then its own beauty... The Hope Diamond. The Hope Diamond is now known to have been cut from a gem owned by the Royal Family of France and looted during the early days of the revolution. A lore of the cure of the Hope Diamond made it famous and it now resides in the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C. where it can be visited by the public. Take a listen to our podcast and learn a bit about the history of the stone and the rumors of the curse that is supposed to follow it.
