Question: What object was in the gorilla mother's hand when she died?

Answer: It was a small, polished stone (probably a raw diamond) that Tarzan subsequently kept as a keepsake of his ape mother. You see him looking at it in a box at the beginning of the film, also.

Diamonds are found in a whole spectrum of colors from red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, steel gray, brown, white and black.
