I remember learning about this in History Class as a child. It's an interesting mystery about what happened to these settlers that perhaps will be solved. I hope you enjoy, cheers all

Thanks for replying with more history and adding a great pictoo!
I saw the Hope Diamond at the Smithsonian....it was beautiful, bit of a disappointing display though, in my humble opinion. Of course security plays a key role, lol. But something a bit more refined and givingthe stone it's own bit of 'stage' would be nicer
Thank you for sharing more of the history.....and being able to see the Regent with you own eyes is fantastic! I'm amazed that these stones haven't been lost to history, to be honest, or cut down and made into other pieces.
Cheers )
Refreshed with a better scaled photo and details on the BBC link. Can you imagine 9.7 million! I wonder what that works out to in Lindens...hmmm, lol
It's a beautiful rock, just a little bauble, wear it to the grocery store and stuff, yes? LOL
Sophia, great pic of the stone
The people and places this stone must have been in the hands of. If only the diamond itself could talk, it would have extraordinary tales to tell
See the BBC Link for auction details :D
