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).

Humans have been picking up diamonds since 6,000 BC (in India), and raw diamonds can be cut into many pieces, depending on the original size of the raw stone. In addition to all the mined and found stones accounted for, there are stones without record. Diamonds are also mined by criminal enterprises, where records may not be kept.
