This page is dedicated to current carat values at mines or projects.
Initially with Canada only.
The information below is obtained (best efforts basis) from various sources from the web. Please do further due diligence before assuming all the information below is 100% accurate.
A lot of the data below is stamped with a certain date/time. There is a published index that Paul Zimnisky creates and that could be roughly used to estimate current prices -- Diamond Index

"In the case of Renard 4, independent studies on diamond breakage and poor plant performance during the processing of the bulk sample have previously indicated that the size distribution of the Renard 4 diamond sample has been artificially modified during recovery. Should this prove to have been the case, a higher diamond price estimate for the Renard 4 kimberlite might still be expected."
