Taken away means purchased or stolen?

The Tavernier Blue diamond was purchased by Jean-Baptiste Tavernier from the Kollur Mine in the mid-17th century.[11] King Louis XIV of France bought the diamond from Tavernier, but it was stolen during the French Revolution; it reappeared and has been re-cut as the Hope Diamond.

Most were stolen by various kings and looted to their places and then purchased by others. why are you talking about only one ?

I wasn’t even talking just asked a question. More than diamond Guntur was intriguing to me so I got my answer. And since I know a bit about kohinoor I assume rest of them might have had the same fate, no need to talk.

ok . The way you wrote the first post i thought you were implying they were all purchased by paying a fair price to local people who must have mined. that is definitely not the case.
