Which one of the following foreign travellers elaborately discussed about diamonds and diamond mines of India?
Francois Bernier
Jean Baptiste Tavernier
Jean de Thevenot
Abbe Barthel Carre
Jean-Baptiste Tavernier (1605 – 1689) was a 17th-century French gem merchant and traveller Tavernier, a private individual and merchant traveling at his own expense, covered, by his own account, 60,000 leagues (120,000 miles in making six voyages to Persia and India between the years 1630 and 1668. Tavernier is best known for his discovery or purchase of the 116-carat Tavernier Blue diamond, in 1666. The diamond was certainly Indian in origin and likely sourced by Tavernier in 1666[4] at the Kollur mine in Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh. Tavernier sold it to Louis XIV of France.

What is source of this question!!! which book preferred???
Tough. Although this is indirectly hinted in NCERT but difficult to recall and take risk in real exam stress. Because you couldn’t exactly remember whether it Jean Tavernier vs Jean Thevenot. A PHD scholar Dr. Balakrishan had written a column in theHindu, 2018-Jan that French gem merchant, Jean-Baptiste Tavernier acquired Hope Diamond from Kollur mines in Andhra Pradesh in 1666.
