>Hm... But that's not a diamond, is it?

Olaf's right.  The Candy-Striped is the most famous ruby in the world. 
But we're looking for the name of the famous (American) diamond in the
diamond vault in Scrooge's money bin.  
HINT:  This diamond isn't named in the story, but is shown in the vault.

Its shape would be instantly recognizable to most residents of the US
or Japan.
