Background
In Among Thieves, the stone is first mentioned in a hidden passage of Marco Polo's journal. In "Breaking and Entering", Nate and Harry Flynn use resin to reveal invisible ink referring to "the curse of the Cintamani", which leads them to think Polo had found the stone and that it lay with his lost fleet in Borneo. Nate later tells Chloe and Sully that Polo described it as a huge deep-blue sapphire.
