What is the meaning of the word ''cheap''?
Inexpensive and of poor quality. Although things designed to be inexpensive are inevitably of poor quality, so it goes without saying that if an item is always available at a low price (e.g. at Walmart) it is of poor quality.
Is fools gold worth money?
It depends. Pyrite (or "fool's gold) is a mineral that can contain 0.25 percent or more of gold. If a pyrite sample contains this amount, and assuming the price of gold is $1500 per troy ounce, then one ton of pyrite would be worth a little over $100,000.
Is the gold price higher than diamonds?
Your answer depends on the purity of the gold and the quality of the diamond. When comparing one gram of 24 karat gold -- the purest gold -- compared with one gram -- five carats -- of the highest quality diamond, the diamond price would be higher. For example, today, based on gold at US$1,054.20/gram = $33.89@gram, and based on the highest quality, five-carat diamond at US$404,055, the price of the diamond is far higher than the price of gold. Conversely, a lower-karat gold gram, or a lower-quality diamond could alter the disparity. This is because about 80% of all diamonds mined are industrial diamonds, not gem quality. You can purchase a bag of industrial diamonds for about the price of a latte.
