How rare are Diamonds ?
How many grams do you need to mine to get 5 grams of diamonds?
(5g/1000 kg) @ 1000 g/kg = 5 g /1,000,000 g!
But only 20 % are gem quality (80 % of these are sold in a "managed selling environment") and the remainder are used for industrial purposes
(this material is known as "bort" or "carbonado" (carbonado is finer.
How calculate its size & weight ?
• Carat Weight
o Recall: 1 carat = 0.2 g, thus 5 carats=1g
For example, compare the size of a one point diamond to that of a 0.67.
