The Regent Diamond is a 140.64-carat cushion-shaped D color, Internally Flawless diamond with a bluish fluorescence. It is the seventh-largest D color diamond in the world.The diamond is generally believed to have been mined in Golconda, India, sometime between 1698 and 1701 and weighed 410 carats in its rough form. According to legend, the slave who discovered the Regent diamond smuggled it out of the mines by hiding it inside a self-inflicted wound. The slave reportedly reached India’s coast, where he met an English ship captain and offered him 50% of the sale of the stone in exchange for safe passage out of India.
