The Hope Diamond, 45.5 carats of rare blue diamond, value in 1935 $1,000,000 US. In todays money thats about $12,000,000.
The last private owner, Henry Winston, gave it to the Smithsonian Institute. Bearing in mind it was the virtually most valuable object on the planet at the time, he just popped it into a cardboard box and sent it by ordinary registered post........that took balls!
