Because diamond is carbon that is crystallized, or structured, in a regular, orderly and repeating pattern. That pattern creates consistent openings, allowing light to flow through. Carbon atoms by themselves are by default an unorganized mess, and thus do not have consistent openings and hence light does not flow through.
