The Jacob Diamond was discovered in 1884 and put up for sale by gemstone trader Alexander Malcolm Jacob in 1891. The then-Nizam of Hyderabad, Mahboob Ali Khan, bought the stone and it ended up being used as a paperweight by the last Nizam, Mir Osman Ali Khan.
The government of India later acquired the jewel from the Nizam's trust for a rumoured $13 million in 1995. It's worth an estimated $113 million (£88.7m) today.
