RE: $150/CT ?Joe Leadbetter's 1.39 ct diamond was worth 3000 dollars. Heres a quote from news release dated sept. 27/05. It should be pointed out that Mr. Leadbetter initially found a 1.39 carat gem quality diamond in the creek draining the outcropping DBR Conglomerate. The potential for some[maybe lots]of very valuable diamonds exist within this deposit.
