Historic Indian gem to be auctioned off in UK
An Indian gem, engraved 400 years ago with the names of three Mughal emperors, will be auctioned off by Sotheby's in London in April. It is suspected the 55-carat ruby-red spinel was brought from India by an Englishwoman during the British Raj. The spinel, once mistakenly used as a toy, is expected to fetch up to Â£80,000 (â¹65 lakh).
