A rare diamond, the Grand Condé, has a captivating history that includes a theft. The diamond is one of the rarest in France. It was stolen from the Chantilly castle, along with over 75 pieces of jewelry, by two amateur thieves.
The theft occurred two months before the diamond was discovered in an unusual way. A hotel maid, Suzanne Schiltz, found the diamond while cleaning a room. She had taken a bite of an apple from a guest's luggage and her teeth hit something hard, which turned out to be the diamond.
Further details about the discovery and the theft are available from the source, including the circumstances surrounding the maid's discovery of the diamond.
