This is a question with no possible correct or accurate answer.
Since diamonds have been 'known' since about 6,000 BC (in India), and with diamond mines all over the world, a even an estimate by soil tonnage might be difficult, considering that tonnage produces a limited gross weight in diamonds (i.e.,12,000 carats from more than 240,000 tonnes in the Argyle Mine, the largest being ~46 carats).
