The classic diamond. Always a want. Always grants awesomeness. How much awesomeness would it carry if it were in real life? WARNING: MATH AHEAD...
Also, if you need to convert the grams to ounces, here you go: https://www.google.com/search?q=grams+to+ounces&rlz=1C1SKPL_enUS420&oq=grams+to&aqs=chrome.3.69i57j0l5.13156j0j7&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8

            Now, the hope diamond weighs 45.42 carats. That's equal to about 9.104 grams. It's also about the size of the tip of your thumb (this estimation was just on pictures, so don't hate if I'm wrong.) I can fit about 10 "Hope Diamonds" on my hand, including fingers. This would be the exact same size as a Minecraft diamond, because a Minecraft diamond fills up your whole hand *duh*. 

So if we multiply the 9.104 by 10... we get 91.4 grams. Which is a lot. In conclusion, the Minecraft Diamond (by estimation) will equal 10 hope diamonds, waaaaaaay bigger than one of the biggest diamonds on earth.

I hope you enjoyed my unrealistic comparison!

I don't understand where value comes into this, when it is talking more about size and weight(mass?).

This, is not scientific.  Sorry to say.  That is really weak way to price a diamond, to compare it to another diamond.

Well, the blog is about the worth of a diamond in Minecraft, and what it would be in real life. Since the "Hope Diamond" is real, I compared that to the virtual, Minecraft diamond. I'm not sure how it's not scientific.

Mostly due to the fact that a diamond is priced for more then just size.  You only adressed the first one, so sorry to say this.
