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."
That is very true. The mass of something is definite, "the amount of stuff in an object"; However, the weight of something is the pull of gravity on an object. Someone or something's weight can change if, for example, they go to the Moon, or Mars, or any other celestial body with different levels of gravity.
No it doesn't rain on Uranus; there is likely methane snow however.
All stars fuse hydrogen into helium - the slight difference in atomic weight between 4 hydrogen atoms and one helium atom, is given off as radiation.

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.
A jeweller can estimate the carat size of a stone, however, to learn its true carat weight, a stone must be removed from its setting and weighed.
no one knows the real history so it is all a mystery
Like any diamond, the Koh-i-noor reflects light, it does not generate light, notwithstanding its name: Mountain of Light.
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.
The value of a diamond depends on its cut, its clarity, its colour and its carat weight. A local jeweler can give you the answer you want.
One carat is equal to 200 milligrams. True.
If the stone is a round brilliant cut, it could weigh about one quarter of a carat. However, only a certified gemologist can give you the true weight of the stone, and certify it for you.
Colour is only one determinant of the value of a diamond, and every diamond is valued individually. Taken into account, colour can determine the price of a diamond. This is also true of its clarity, its carat weight and the excellence of its cut. A diamond's cost, then, is a combination of all these variables.
A grading report has benefit to you in these ways:Provides insurance valuationAuthenticates the cut, colour, carat weight and clarity of the stoneGives you a true basis upon which to compare stonesEstablishes the stone's characteristics to help in resaleReports become more important with larger stones, especially those over one carat.
It all depends on the quality. A 1 carat A-quality Tanzanite can cost a couple hundred dollars where a AAAA-quality Tanzanite can cost thousands of dollars. The same holds true for diamonds.
If it is a true natural stone and not heat treated, it runs about $1500 a carat. They are one of the most precious and rarest gemstones on the market today!
