I have photograph that's much sharper than the current one, but don't know how to put it in. Could email it to someone though. Free of copyright, of course.--Miffopro
Someone know if the info on it's theft and recovery is true? Thanx 68.39.174.150 22:04, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, the info is true. The story of the theft is related on a little placard beside the gem in the American Museum of Natural History.--Pharos 05:27, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Picture?
A photograph of the gem would surely benefit this article, the only question is whether cameras are permitted in the gems and minerals exhibit at AMNH. - Sedola 15:14, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
- I think that section at AMNH is currently closed for renovation, but anyway, their general "policy", like most such institutions, is supposedly to allow photographs, but only for "personal use". A lot of folks would consider such a policy legally dubious, though, and photographs of natural objects (not museum dioramas etc.) should I think be fine for our purposes.--Pharos 06:45, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
