Hi Frank and Denis. Actually, as sample size increases, value usually increases, not nec. the count (I know,, semantics!). - I pulled this from here:
techstocks.com

The apparent value of a kimberlite in dollars per tonne increases sharply with increasing bulk sample size. The larger rare, high value diamonds are randomly distributed and will be recovered the larger the sample taken. A very rich kimberlite could be reported as uneconomic merely by valuing the diamonds recovered too soon.

Value per carat increases typically 40-50 percent between exploration results and mine production (due to large stones).


Cheers,
