A carat of diamond weighs 200 mg.
So a 19.5 carats raw diamond would weigh 19.5*200 = 3,900mg
5-carat gem weighs 200*5=1000 mg.
So a 19.5 carats raw diamond would weigh 19.5*200 = 3,900mg
5-carat gem weighs 200*5=1000 mg.

The original diamond weight is 19.5*200 = 3,900mg
A 5-carat gemstone weighs 200*5=1000
A 5-carat gemstone weighs 200*5=1000
