From Wikipedia

The Sancy, a pale yellow diamond of 55.23 carats (11.046 g), was reputed to have belonged to the Mughal emperors, and is at least probably Indian in origin owing to its cut, which is unusual by Western standards. The stone has been owned by a number of important figures in European history, such as Charles the Bold, James VI and I, and the Astor family. The shield-shaped stone comprises two back-to-back crowns (the typical upper half of a stone) but lacks any semblance to a pavilion (the lower portion of a stone, below the girdle or midsection).
