​APPROXIMATE CARAT WEIGHT CHART
​FOR SPECIFIC GEMSTONES (& AVERAGE)

This Approximate Carat Weight Chart for various Gemstone materials in relation to their Shape and millimeter (mm) size serves to help get a ballpark idea of what a carat weight will be. The last column is an average of the various gemstone materials weight for a particular shape and size.  Keep in mind that the individual cutting of any specific gemstone will have a great effect on its resulting carat weight. A shallow stone for example will end up weighing less where a heavy belly cut stone will weigh more.
