It is believed that since a diamond piece cannot be broken, if it is put under the hot goat-milk for some time and then try to break it, it yields to the pressure. In ancient times diamond used to be worn on person as an amulet, for self-protection and it is also believed that diamond pieces mitigate the fever.
Some diamond pieces bode unhappiness to its natives, as we may find in the lot of Mary Antoinate, the former empress of feudal France as she was bayoneted after she had worn it. The famous diamond piece Kohinoor also became actually ill-famous, as it always brought destruction to the natives. All the Mughal emperors whoever owned it met with unceremonious death, mostly by slaughter. The last owner of the diamond was the Punjab's Maharaja Ranjit Singh, who too had the diamond the reason for his death. Nobody put it on person after his killing and the same year the Kohinoor changed its owner once again and this time even crossed the seas to reach the Empress Victoria, to whom the diamond was sent by the British troops in India as a gift. However with its arrival the burning sun of the Great Britain’s empire slided to set for good. At present the diamond piece, Kohinoor, is preserved in the British Museum of the British royal family.
