According to wikipedia the Star of Africa is worth over 200 million pounds. I wasn't able to find out the value of the blue topaz.

The valuation of unique stones like the ones you mentioned is nothing but a matter of guesswork, there is no formula to calculate the price and no auction records to use for comparison. The answer lies between the price the present owner is willing to accept and the amount a potential owner is willing to pay. The only way to find out the value is to put the item up for public auction and see what is offered. (Protecting one's interests with a reserve of course!!)

The correct answer is independent of the "selling price" put on them by the current owners (private or corporate).
Each is a unique piece of jewelry, and is immediately identifiable - and thus its worth is solely dependent on what someone will pay to own them.
It would be like saying "What's the price to buy the continent of Australia? Or perhaps Mount Fiji? Or the Marianas Trench?".

I think if you add them together, they are 3,802 carets.
By the way, when you measure the purity of gold, karet is spelled with a K. When you measure the weight of a gem, caret is spelled with a C.
