The Orloff


The Orloff diamond was 300 carrots when found. It is currently housed in the Diamond treasury in Moscow, Russia. The stone has been through many interesting journeys. It was stolen from it's original home by a french deserter and passed on too an English sea captain. It eventually landed up in the scepter of the Russian Empress Catherine the Great.

The fable goes that during a Napoleon raid the scepter was hidden in a priests tomb. Strangely as Napoleon was about to steal the scepter, the priests “ghost” appeared and pronounced a curse on the army and Napoleon scampered away. Lol!

We are God's jewel, hidden in the presence of our High Priest Jesus, and when Satan comes to steal us...... Jesus doesn't have to pronounce a curse, because Satan's destiny has already been sealed. Amen!

Take comfort in the fact that you can hide in the presence of God.
