As a rough stone, there is no fixed price for a diamond, because its clarity, its colour, and its cut are not determined. Take your rough stone to a diamond cutter who can plan a cut for the stone. Once planned -- the cutter will plan a cut to highlight the rough stone's natural colour and clarity -- so that you can have your cut diamond valued. The diamond cutter may purchase the stone from you outright, or make an agreement with you to be paid from the sale of the finished stone.

If you found a diamond at Antarctica can you bring it home?
The answer depends on whether you found a raw stone, or a cut diamond. If you found a raw stone, you must consult with your station manager to determine whether it is legal or not for you to remove an(y) artifact from the Antarctic continent. It may not be legal -- it is illegal for anyone working at a US station to take out any artifact that is not directly related to and fully documented as part of a scientific grant. If you found a cut diamond, clearly someone has lost it. Reasonably, you would turn it in to the station's lost and found department. If, over time, the cut stone is not claimed, the department may well give the cut stone to you.
