The Dehli Purple Sapphire is a stone from India that is supposedly cursed. The stone itself is also not sapphire at all; it is amethyst. The stone wad found in the Temple of Indra in 1857 by British explorers during the Indian Mutiny.
Indra is the Hindu god of War and it is said that a curse was placed on the stone when it was removed from the temple. The explorer who removed the stone had terrible luck along with his family, supposedly because of the gem. Every owner who has had possession of the gem has also had terrible luck.
This gem is Enlightening because of the knowledge that is learned about the gem itself and some of the Hindu culture.
This was really interesting.
