Its very hard to rationalise the production in terms of numbers of diamonds, average size and value if we don't know the number and size of any large diamonds in the sample. For example:-
In September 2025, 133 diamonds weighed 68 carats, and included one 6.13 carat stone. Leaving the large stone aside 132 diamonds averaged 0.47 carats each (total 62 carats). Given the value of large stones (per carat) is much higher than 10 times the small stones on a per carat basis; the single large stone of 6.13 carats would be worth more on its own that the 132 half carat stones together.
