A diamond is by far the hardest material on earth. On the Mohs scale of hardness -- ranked 1 to 10 -- diamonds are 10, which is more than 10 times harder than the closest at 9, a ruby - corundum (aluminium oxide). The stone, marble, is usually in the 6-7 range. A toy marble can be made from glass, clay, steel, or agate, none of which is as hard as a diamond.
Diamonds are measured in CARATS. Purity of gold is in KARATS. A 14 carat diamond would be an extremely large diamond- about the size of a marble. Value is based on carat weight, cut, color, and clarity- but that would be a multi-million dollar stone in all likelihood. But I think you are looking at marking of the metal.
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.
A diamond of this weight is unknown, therefore, is not possible to value.
Yes. A diamond cutter can help you plan a new cut for an existing cut-diamond. Be aware that carat weight will be lost in this process and usually, depending on its clarity, could devalue or improve the value of the diamond. For example, the diamond cutter may be able to plan a cut that renders an Internally Flawless diamond a Flawless diamond. This may increase its value. However, if a different cut is desired and the carat-weight loss is significant, the diamond may be devalued.

Marble has value as a building material, a raw material for sculpting and decorative pieces, and as a source of calcium carbonate.
Diamond. Diamond is the only mineral on this list. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock, meaning that it formed beneath the surface of the earth. Marble is a metamorphic rock, which means that it formed from another type of rock, or "parent rock," through subjection to intense heat and/or pressure. Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed of calcium carbonate and can often be the parent rock for marble. Please note that the Mohs hardness scale does not apply to rocks. It only covers minerals.

The value of a diamond depends on the quality of a diamond, which is determined by the diamond's attributes or its 4 C's (which include: color, clarity, cut and carat weight). Generally speaking, the higher the quality of the diamond, the higher its value will be.
No. you don't cut stone with fire. That is just plain stupid. You cut marble with diamond tipped blades or with water jets.
Diamond weight per se is not valued as a single component of a diamond's overall value. Weight is included with colour, cut and clarity to value a diamond.
