A three-billion-year-old diamond the size of a tennis ball - the largest discovered in more than a century - could sell for more than $US70 million ($94 million), auctioneer Sotheby's says.

The auction house plans to offer the Lesedi la Rona diamond in London on June 29.

The diamond was unearthed in November in Botswana at a mine owned by Canada's Lucara Diamond Corporation.

It measures 1109 carats, the second-largest gem-quality rough diamond ever discovered. Its name means "our light" in the Tswana language of southern Africa.

The auctioneer said the rough gemstone "of exceptional transparency" could yield the largest top-quality diamond ever cut and polished.
