Simple answer is no, not even close. Blue diamonds command values of $100,000 USD per carat and are considered the second most valuable gemstone per carat. Recently a blue diamond was auctioned and sold for $1,349,752 *per carat*. That was a new record in value. I've attached two links below - one to the article about the blue diamond auctioned, and another to a site that sells lab grown blue diamonds. The lab grown blue diamonds are real blue diamonds but not mined, and make an interesting counterpart to your question in that lab grown blue diamonds are less money per carat than a top grade natural sapphire. I am assuming you were really asking about natural vs. natural though.
You can purchase a diamond of this weight today on Blue Nile and pay between US$55,496 and US$510,961, depending on the colour, cut and clarity that you want. The setting and the work to install the diamond into the setting of your choice will be in addition to the price of the diamond.
There really is not such a thing as an average price for a diamond as such. Diamonds are priced by 4 factors (the 4 Cs)--cut, clarity, color, and carat (weight). Cut refers to how well the diamond is cut. Clarity refers to the internal flaws the diamond might have. The more flaws the less it is worth. Color refers to the color of the diamond. A white diamond is worth considerably more than one that is yellowish. Finally carat weight refers to the size of the diamond. The bigger the diamond the greater the price. You are asking for an average so if we assume an average cut, average color, average clarity, and a smaller size carat weight assuming more of those are sold than of the larger diamonds and if we assume just the diamond and no setting, then we can perhaps give you a rough idea of what the price might be. Certainly, the most popular clarity would be one with very slight imperfections. The color of the average diamond would probably have some slight color when compared to a colorless diamond probably a J or I color. Cut would be good to very good rather than ideal. Let us then assume a 0.5 carat diamond, J or I color, very good cut, with very slight imperfections. Blue Nile sells these diamonds for about $1100 to $1300 each.
Since 40 carats is large for a diamond, you can watch auction houses to find an auction for such a diamond.As an example, The Emperor Maximilian Diamond sold at Christies in 2010 for US$1,762,500. Its documentation included this:"[Report] from January 2010 from the Gemological Institute of America stating that the diamond is I color, VS1 clarity, with very strong blue fluorescence... accompanied by a supplemental letter dated 23 February 2010 from the Gemological Institute of America attesting to the re-cutting of the Emperor Maximilian Diamond from 41.94 carats to its present weight of 39.55 carats ."
