If a 1 carat stone costs $1000, then a 100 carat stone would not cost $100,000 but $10,000,000 (a 50 carat stone would cost $2,500,000) so the cost of mana per carat goes up.
Fortunately, I think the relative value of diamonds (or any gemstone) on Cidri doesn't need to follow Lumera's price list.
;)

To Skarg's point, however, the escalating costs are definitely a good way to control access to high capacity Powerstones.
