Peacock's Eye

The Peacock's Eye was a diamond supposedly once owned by Alexander the Great. Indiana Jones and his friend Remy Baudouin went on a search for the diamond in 1919, following the end of World War I. After meeting anthropologist Bronisław Malinowski, Jones decided that his quest was a wild goose chase, and decided to return home to attend the University of Chicago in order to become an archaeologist. Baudouin, however, decided to continue his quest for the diamond, so the friends parted ways.



It is possible Indy eventually found the Peacock's Eye, or at least held it in his hand for a moment, in Shanghai in 1935, when Indy traded the ashes of Nurhachi for a large diamond&mdash;all but identical to the Peacock's Eye&mdash;from Lao Che, a Chinese gangster. Whether Remy was involved is a mystery.

Behind the scenes
The Peacock's Eye from Young Indiana Jones and the Treasure of the Peacock's Eye was long speculated to be the diamond that Indiana Jones is seen trading Lao Che for in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. It was made official with the 2008 release of '''.
