The rough stone was repeatedly stolen and repeatedly stolen into the hands of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. It was then carefully designed and cut into several pieces of diamonds. The most famous of these are two, one named Kon-i-noor, weighing 108.93 carats, oval, inlaid in the crown of the Queen Mother of England; the other is called Orlo Orloff, weighing 189.60 carats, is in the shape of a rose.

He pretended to be a believer who was mixed into the temple and allowed to work in the temple, and then gradually gained trust and was assigned to take care of the church. On a stormy night, he took the opportunity to dig up an eyeball of the Buddha statue. Because he was too panicked and took another one in the future, he jumped into the river and fled.

Later, the French soldier sold it to a British captain for 2,000 pounds. After a few changes, the diamond arrived in Amsterdam. The news was obtained by the Russian Earl Orloff. In order to please the Russian empress Catherine, she bought it for 90,000 pounds. The next diamond. Catherine accepted the diamond and set it on the royal scepter. Orlov received a marble palace in return.
