When we had feasted our eyes we took them all out and made a list of them.

There were one hundred and forty-three diamonds of the first water, including one which has been called, I believe, 'the Great Mogul' and is said to be the second largest stone in existence.

Then there were ninety-seven very fine emeralds, and one hundred and seventy rubies, some of which, however, were small.

There were forty carbuncles, two hundred and ten sapphires, sixty-one agates, and a great quantity of beryls, onyxes, cats'-eyes, turquoises, and other stones, the very names of which I did not know at the time, though I have become more familiar with them since.

Besides this, there were nearly three hundred very fine pearls, twelve of which were set in a gold coronet.
