It's not usually possible to value raw diamonds as to location per se, but many of the world's most valuable stones may have originated in India. The largest raw stone found, was found in South Africa.

The provenance of the 'most valuable diamonds' isn't available until people began keeping written records -- in the 1600s -- so where they were initially picked up from the ground has been lost to history.

Once large diamonds are cut and valued, they are often placed into the hands of rulers, governments or leaders, often changing hands as gifts or spoils of war. As well, their exact location is often not public knowledge.
