So this 10 carat baby cost over $1 billion.

Huh? $100 a carat times 10 carats equals $1000. For a 10 carat anything to cost over a billion dollars, the per carat price would have to be over one hundred million dollars per carat.

Good grief! I must have been hanging out at DU too much. For some reason, I appended million to that figure. Sorry about that and I really appreciate you pointing that out.
