[edit] Summary

The famous blue-gray diamond currently housed in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, was believed to be cut from an enormous stone bought in India by Tomas founder and diamond hunter Jean-Baptiste Tavernier. The stone Tavernier brought back from India was 115.16 carats and cut down for the French king Louis XIV to a sparkling rock of 67 carats. The Hope Diamond is 45.52 carats. Which begs the question - what happened to the missing carats?

[edit] Top Secret

Dear sirs,

Glory to the Ekaterinas! The raid was a great success.
We seized most of the French Crown Jewels, including
the diamond the Tomas have been hiding from us for
centuries. I made the necessary alterations. The
important piece will remain in Russia. If we are careful,
we can ensure that those Tomas brutes never regain
their Clue. Katherine would be proud.

Your obedient servant,
Dimitri Makarov
