I asked chat gpt.
To estimate how much Vast Resources could get from selling these diamonds, we need to make some rough calculations based on the information provided:
Quantity: ~135,000 carats of gem-quality diamonds.
Quality: They are described as “gem-quality” and have been cleaned and prepared, which should maximize their value.
The price per carat of gem-quality diamonds can vary widely depending on size, color, clarity, and market conditions. Here’s a rough guide:
Lower-end gem-quality diamonds: $200–$500 per carat
Mid-range: $500–$1,500 per carat
High-quality stones: $1,500–$5,000+ per carat
Since these are historic, high-quality parcels from Marange, it’s reasonable to assume they might fetch somewhere in the $500–$1,500 per carat range, possibly more if some stones are exceptional.
Rough calculation:
Low estimate: 135,000 × $500 = $67.5 million
Mid estimate: 135,000 × $1,000 = $135 million
High estimate: 135,000 × $1,500 = $202.5 million
So, Vast could realistically make between $70 million and $200 million from these parcels, depending on the quality and market demand at the time of sale.
