I have a fortune diamond pick and all diamond tools/armor. But I also play with the Equivalent Exchange mod, which means I almost always mine deep for diamonds and use my dowsing rod to find them.
47 diamonds in storage in my world I started about 5 days ago. Plus a diamond pickaxe and sword that have broken. I'm using all iron tools at the moment until 1.3 comes out, then I'm putting level 30 enchants on a bunch of stuff.
I got an Efficiency II Fortune I iron pick from a level 4 enchant early on which helped a bit.
It should be pointed out that this thread has been necro'ed; the last post before today was nearly 2 years ago.
That said, in my current world I've mined 843 diamond ore, mostly with Fortune III, and made 187 blocks of diamond, which is equivalent to 1,683 diamonds (843 ore mined with Fortune III would average about 1,855, so I've used the difference, plus a handful from chests and minus the first few ore mined without Fortune).
That has nothing on the amount of iron and coal ore I've mined though; 31,333 (who needs iron farms?) and 74,722 respectively (15,752 or 4.5 double chests of coal blocks! This would also be about 18,265 coal blocks or 164,388 pieces of coal if I hadn't used any of it).
Maybe even more amazing is that I've used a single pickaxe (Efficiency V, Fortune III, Unbreaking III) to mine most of that, a total of 175,605 blocks mined with a diamond pickaxe.

So, that's about a little more than one stack.
If I had diamond for every thread like this, I would 3 more stacks...

TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.
TheMasterCaver's World - my own version of Minecraft largely based on my views of how the game should have evolved since 1.6.4.
Why do I still play in 1.6.4?
