Great Diamonds Of India

Monisha Bharadwaj

Several of the world’s largest and most cherished diamonds were found in the Golconda mines of India, and many discovered elsewhere made their way into the coffers of the richest people in the country. Great Diamonds of India is a definitive account of the history, legends, and myths commonly associated with some exceptional Indian stones. The kaleidoscope of characters in these stories range from insouciant kings and queens to avaricious murderers. The book unfurls the drama that accompanied the passage of these gems across continents and over great expanses of time.
