Aun Jafery answered (to someone elses question) Diamond in the rough is a phrase or an idiom that is used in the English language. It is used to refer to a person as having good character and qualities and the potential of becoming great but lacking any sort of refinement and polish. It is rarely used to refer to mean something valuable having been found in an unexpected or out of place location. As an expression it describes a grey section of society where a person may not himself commit crime but may know those who do. It refers to a person who has all the goodness in him much like an uncut diamond but lacks the polish and finishing that a final diamond has. The phrase is a metaphor of a diamond that is uncut and that needs to be polished and cut to become perfect.
This is not an idiom. It is a measurement. $100,000 is how you write it in numbers.
As a rough stone, there is no fixed price for a diamond, because its clarity, its colour, and its cut are not determined. Take your rough stone to a diamond cutter who can plan a cut for the stone. Once planned -- the cutter will plan a cut to highlight the rough stone's natural colour and clarity -- so that you can have your cut diamond valued. The diamond cutter may purchase the stone from you outright, or make an agreement with you to be paid from the sale of the finished stone.
This is not an idiom. "It's over" means that it is over, or finished, or done. Whatever "it" refers to has concluded.

Nothing. The correct idiom is "ace in the hole," which literally means that you have an ace card (the highest value in the deck) hidden away somewhere so you can win the card game. It's come to mean any situation where you have a hidden advantage or something you can "pull out" to win the situation.
