Your answer depends on the quality of the raw stones. For this amount of money, you should fully and completely understand the quality of the stones you are buying. Only when the stones are fully evaluated, planned, cut and faceted will you know the final carat weight of your purchase.

The raw stone weight is immaterial in your scenario without an indication of the quality of stones.

If you're spending this amount of money for a 'bag o'stones' -- blind, be aware:

  • About 75% of all diamonds mined are rated as industrial diamonds, worth about US$1.60 per pound.
  • In the remaining 25%, there may be gem-quality stones, most about the size of a pin head, some the size of a pea vegetable.
  • If there is a large uncut stone -- weighing more than 2 carats -- you lose about 60% of a raw stone when you cut and facet it -- you may be able to find a 1 carat stone of gem quality. Or more.

How much would 1 million dollars in diamonds weigh?

The weight of 1 million dollars in diamonds depends on the price per carat, which can vary significantly based on quality and type. For example, if we consider an average price of $10,000 per carat, 1 million dollars would equate to about 100 carats. Since 1 carat is approximately 0.2 grams, this would mean the diamonds would weigh around 20 grams, or about 0.044 pounds. However, if the diamonds are more expensive, the total weight would be less.
