Tavernier Blue

The Tavernier Blue was the precursor diamond to the Blue Diamond of the French Crown (aka the French Blue), and subsequently, after a disappearance and reemergence into the public forum, it was renamed the Hope Diamond. This provenance was accepted by many historians and gemologists for years and was supported by research with 3D imaging and prototyping technology in 2005. It is a Type IIb diamond.
