Best Answer

According to most accounts, the Hope Diamond is a type IIb stone, meaning it is representative of 0.1% of all natural diamonds.

Given its first appearance in documentation (1668), it's most probable that the stone came from India. In addition, the Hope is classified as a 'Golconda' stone, meaning that it contains the physical characteristics known to exist in that region of India.

The person who picked it up first has a name that has been lost to history.
