(idexonline.com) - The Koh-i-Nor isn't the largest or most valuable diamond in the world. But it's possibly the most famous and the most controversial, and it's in the news again this week. More words have been written about the alluvial diamond believed to come from Golconda, India, than any other gem. And millions of pairs of eyes have seen it "in the flesh" on display as part of Britain's Crown Jewels in the Tower of London. Interest in the 105.6-ct stone re-surfaced this week after the 95-year-old monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, confirmed that Camilla, second wife of Prince Charles (after Princess Diana) will become Queen when he finally takes the throne. And she will wear the platinum crown in which the Koh-i-Nor is set, together with another 2,800 diamonds.
