According to Wikipedia's List of diamonds:

"[The] Koh-i-Noor [weighs] 105.6 [carats], [is] colorless [and is described as] a 105.6 carat (21.6 g) white of Indian origin, with a long and turbulent history and a good deal of legend surrounding it. After belonging to various Mughal and Persian rulers, it was gifted away by the Maharaja Duleep Singh of Lahore and was presented to Queen Victoria during the British Raj, and is now part of the Crown of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother."

How do you tell the carat weight of an uncut diamond?

An uncut diamond can be weighed just like any other diamond. One carat is equal to 1/5 of a gram (200 milligrams). The uncut stone, however, must not have any other matter attached to the diamond in order to register a true carat weight for the diamond stone. The weight of the raw stone will not represent the weight of the finished stone as the cutting and polishing processes will remove material to create the facets and shape.

How much are uncut diamonds worth?

The value of a diamond depends on its cut, its clarity, its colour and its carat weight. This is true of gemstone-quality diamonds, only 20% of all diamonds mined. The value of an uncut stone, then, is what a diamond cutter is willing to pay for it depending on its highlights of clarity and colour, and how the cutter believes that the stone can be cut to retain its maximum carat weight. Often up to 60% of the raw diamond's carat weight is lost in the planning, cutting and polishing process. An uncut diamond is worth less than a cut diamond, if the diamonds are of the same carat weight. Eighty percent of mined diamonds are considered industrial diamonds, which you can purchase by the bag full for about the price of a latte, depending on your vendor and your purchase frequency.
