Hee! Our shiny things cahn. :) This is the Florentino, the gem whose web page I was looking at. According to the allegations of modern-day Lorenzo de' Medici that I pasted up-thread:
When Maria Theresa became Empress of Austria, she had a large part of the donation transported to Vienna, including the Florentino, the famous Medici diamond, which was considered the largest in the world at the time. This diamond later mysteriously disappeared and was never heard of again.
