In About 1642, people found a large diamond in the sand layer of Keast in India, weighing 112 g. They embedded it on the juggernaut, praying for bless. Perhaps the convulsion of the diamond closed the eyes of the gods; every owner from then on could not resist the bad luck of losing all. A monk was burnt to death for stealing the diamond. For many reasons, the diamond changed hands several times; it was got by Louis XIV finally, being carved to the diamond weighing 69.03 g, but he wore only once and died of smallpox. Later on, the Lan Bona princess of French loyal family, Louis XVI and queen were all killed for the diamond. It was stolen from French treasury in 1792 and reappeared in 1830, but had been carved into a diamond weighing 45.5 carat.

His outcome was very terrible 2 years later, his son was killed in a traffic accident, McClelland went off, his daughter committed suicide with sleeping potion. In 1958, another famous jeweler, Mr. Winston, bought the diamond and gave it off to Smithsonian Museum as a precious gift without compensation, being admired by the travelers.
