Blue diamond and Chopin

Just realized that I missed the chance of seeing the legendary blue diamond / hope diamond (or referred as cursed stone) in my last visit to Washington. If I knew it was in natural museum, smithsonian,  I would run there to have a look in the middle of my cherry blossom hunting. What fascinated me about the diamond was how it was reframed in 2010. The man had to listen to Chopin in order to have himself concentrated in handling the precious gem. Actually I never like gems but the knowledge that they had to travel up to earth surface attracted my attention. It is a survival of fittest journey. The gems acquire energy. with this science bits, now I understand the whole thing about scarcity. I am also fascinated by how Pierre Cartier packaged  the blue gem with stories and myths. Before that, French king made The blue diamond a symbol of wealth and class and that creates a market. value is created in the process. To me, it is about a hidden desire of reproductive power.
