Best Answer

A gem-quality, uncut stone can be expensive, depending on the ultimate price a professional believes can be made from a polished and cut portion of the stone.

Only about 20% of all diamonds mined are gem-quality. Raw diamonds lose about 60% of their total carat weight when cut and polished.
