The Daria-i-Noor (Persian for 'Sea of Light' or 'Ocean of Light'[2]),[a] also spelt Darya-ye Noor, is one of the largest cut diamonds in the world, weighing an estimated 182 carats (36 g).[3] Its colour, pale pink, is one of the rarest to be found in diamonds. The diamond is currently in the Iranian National Jewels collection of the Central Bank of Iran in Tehran.[4] However, another theory posits that it is in a private collection in Bangladesh.[2]
