About this listen

Professor Thatch explores the glittering world of royal regalia and supposedly cursed gemstones, from the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom to the controversial Koh-i-Noor diamond and the legendary Hope Diamond curse. This episode delves into the intersection of power, symbolism, and superstition, examining how precious stones become repositories of meaning that transcend their material value. Through tales of imperial acquisition, supernatural legends, and modern gemological science, we discover why humans continue to invest extraordinary objects with mythological significance, and how these treasures reflect our deepest desires and fears about wealth, power, and destiny.
