Quartz is a lot more common than either elemental gold or allotropic carbon (diamonds).
Specifically, quartz is made of silicon (Si) and oxygen (O); two of the most common elements in the universe. Elements up to and including iron (Fe) on the Periodic Table occur frequently, as they're products of normal stellar evolution. Elements beyond iron, such as gold, require a stellar explosion beyond the normal stellar life cycle, and as such are far more rare.
Diamond, on the other hand, is a common element. What's uncommon is that it's in crystalline form and can only occur in the presence of carbon, heat and huge amounts of pressure.

Is 10 ct gold worth more or less than 24 ct?
No...24ct is pure gold - 10ct contains only 41.67% gold. The higher the number (up to 24ct)the more gold is in the object. The only way that 10ct would be worth more is if you had alot more 10ct than (by weight) than 24ct . In other words if you had 1 ounce of 24ct gold it would be worth about $1100. It would take 2.5 ounces of 10ct to equal the 1 ounce value of 24ct.

What is the value of a pink quartz diamond?
A quartz is not a diamond. A quartz is a quartz.Quartz is classified as a semi-precious stone. The value of it depends on many factors such as:SizeWeightConditionDeepness of the colourShapeIf it is in natural form or if it has been shaped and added to jewelleryYou will have to take it to a professional jeweller to get an exact value. It could be worth anything from $6 USD to $50 USD. Maybe a little more if it is attached to gold or silver jewellery.As for pink diamonds, I am extremely doubtful you have one in your possession because they are EXTREMELY rare and are owned usually by billionaires or royal families. Pink diamonds can be worth between $7,000,000 USD and $80,000,000 USD.It is most likely you have pink quartz (also known as rose quartz) rather than pink diamond.

What is worth more diamonds or oil?
Gold is worth more than diamonds (diamonds do not have a universal absolute value, whereas gold does). Oil is worth more than both gold and diamonds combined.We rely on oil to power our economies, keep the ships floating, keep our cars moving, keep the planes flying and so on. Without the oil, there is no economy. Wars are fought over oil, but none are fought over diamonds (except some small civil wars as a result of disputes).Oil however is running out, which makes it even more expensive and valuable than it used to be. We are quickly trying to find new ways to replace the oil we rely on, such as electric cars. Oil will only get even more valuable as it becomes rarer.Another AnswerIn terms of weight, a cup of diamonds vs a cup of oil depends on the quality of both. A cup of gemstones, for example, would be worth far more than a cup of oil. However, a cup of industrial diamonds -- about 80% of all those mined, would be worth less than a cup of oil.
