A rather comfortable Omega 11 jumphole can be found in the bottom right quarter of Omega 7 (the system that is a brown dust cloud). Sensor efficiency is not reduced out there, so it should be easy to find. Still Omega 11 is an extremely deadly place, the red giant that is at the center of the diamond-carrying asteroid belt emits enormous amounts of radiation, basically toasting every ship in a matter of minutes while mining (in seconds, if you're just ONE meter too close).

Can't help you with other diamond mines atm, though , but at Ronneburg base (omega 5) they sell the stuff for only ~200 a piece. If you manage to haul a full shipment of those to new tokyo, you'll be instantly rich. =)

The mineable areas in Omega-11 have constant radiation damage, so it's a bit of a hassle to mine there, anyway. The asteroid cloud behind Bautzen Station in Dresden has diamonds with a good hit-rate... and no radiation.
