Gonna have to go with a resounding "no" on that one. Even if they did find a diamond that big, the one in the picture certainly isn't it. For one, that doesn't look like any rough diamond I've ever seen. I've never seen one in person but you can quickly google it and see that none of them look like the supposed diamond from the article.
Also, I would like to mention that a diamond of that size would have next to no market value because scarce a person exists who could afford to buy it. No, it would likely be cut up into more manageable pieces that were affordable to somewhat larger numbers of rich folk. Also, large volumes of diamond are lost in the cutting process itself. And like the Hope Diamond, it isn't unheard of for diamond owners to wish them re-cut. The Hope itself was cut on at least three separate occasions.
So, no, this looks like a bit of a hoax. I guess either way we will find out.
Here is a site that talks about all that kind of diamond stuff.
