Best Answer

Take the stone to a reputable gemologist and ask for a description of its cut, colour, carat weight and clarity.

Then ask a jeweler how much s/he would charge you for a comparable stone. This may give you an indication of about how much the stone is worth.

How much troilite is in 1 carat of diamond?

As introduction, from Wikipedia:"Pyrrhotite is an unusual iron sulfide mineral with a variable iron content: Fe(1-x)S (x = 0 to 0.2). The FeS endmember is known as troilite."Troilite is most common in meteors that originate on the moon or on Mars, and it is found in trace amounts on earth. Some meteorites have been found that contain diamond material. Most common of these is known as black diamond, or carbonado. But carbonado does not classically contain any troilite.In sum, a one-carat diamond with any trace of troilte would be hard to find within any gemstone marketplace, but you may have luck when trying to purchase a meteorite.
