There are many different qualities of both gold and diamonds. There is cheap gold (the lower the karat as in 14K, 18K, 24K gold, the less valuable it is. Same holds true for diamonds. There are diamonds out there the size of a pin point that aren't worth ten cents, but put millions of those small diamonds on a cutting tool, and you've got the strongest surface to work with.
Generally speaking, on the whole, diamonds tend to be more valuable than gold. True, they still mine for gold and diamonds, we haven't yet exhausted the Earth's supply of both and the prices for both will fluctuate over time depending on economies, society, demand, supply and who has the most of each.
If you are going by pure weight or poundage, diamonds are more valuable. They are small, tiny in comparison to gold weights of the same value. You can have a diamond weighing less than an ounce be worth ten times or more of its gold equivalent.

Take the stone to a jeweler and confirm that it is a diamond. Then, take the stone to a certified gemologist for an appraisal. If the diamond is less than one carat in weight, you might not want to go to the expense of commissioning an appraisal. A jeweler's estimate may be sufficient.
