I think you're reading the "SAMPLE LEGAL APPRAISAL" which is an appraisal for a different item. I think it's just to give you an idea of the form of appraisal they'd provide for insurance purposes.

this is correct. i found it odd to include that sample appraisal form with the listing at first glance, too.

Wikipedia article on morganite says something like ~$300/carat depending on overall quality.

It’s it a bell curve, so stuff that’s 4 or 5 std devs out is (potentially) worth much much much more than bull stones.

Now I'm chuckling at the image of extremely expensive, perfectly cut, nanometer-scale stones.

They’re actually very cheap, but you can literally get diamond sandpaper

I'm picturing something more like this. https://researchnews.cc/imagenes/2021/03/19/Selffolding-2.jp...

Micrometer-scale, not nanometer-scale.
