I thought this might interest you. Its the story of how the Hope Diamond was delivered to the Smithsonian Institution. Delivering a 45.52 carat blue diamond (yes, you read that right) was a challenge, but the solution was wonderfully prosaic. Its nice to be reminded of these things sometimes. [Btw, the Hope Diamond was once owned by Louis XIV. Im listening to Louis XIV today (not the same one, natch). Hows that for a segue?]
