The Black Orlov diamond, also known as the Eye of Brahma, is a 67.49-carat black diamond with a legendary, often disputed, history. Popular lore claims it was stolen from a Hindu deity in Pondicherry, India, and is associated with a curse and several high-profile tragedies. While historians and gemologists express skepticism about its Indian origin and the curse narrative, the diamond's mysterious past and unique beauty continue to fascinate. It was sold at Christie's in 2006 for approximately $352,000.
