The story goes that a Swiss mercenary found the diamond and sold it to a priest thinking that it was a piece of glass. The priest sold the gem to the Berne authority from whom a wealthy merchant purchased it for 5,000 florins. Finally through various ways the diamond adorned the Medici exchequer. Others believe that the Florentine diamond is of Indian origin.

It came in the possession of the Portuguese Castro-Noranha family and they sold it to Ferdinando I de' Medici for 35,000 Portuguese scudi crocati.The true history of the Florentine Diamond is documented by Tavernier.

The origin of the Allnatt Diamond is still under clouds; probable information that is popular is that the stone was excavated from the Premier Diamond Mine of South Africa.

The highest price of the diamond was declared as $3,043,496. The splendid piece of gemstone covers a probable price of at least USD 3 million. The diamond is currently owned by SIBA Corp.

Ocean Dream diamond

Found in the Central Africa, the Ocean Dream diamond is a magnificent stone weighing around 5.51 carats. The Diamond color of this gem is so unusual that many gemologists thought that it was synthetically colored in the laboratory. Till date, no diamond has been found of this color and shape.
