Best Answer

Diamond is, in general, a poor conductor of electrical energy. Generally, we find that diamond is actually a pretty good electrical insulator. This contrasts sharply with its ability to conduct thermal energy, which it does better than anything else we know of.

Why blue diamond can conduct electricity?

Blue diamonds do not conduct electricity. Diamonds do, however, conduct heat, in fact five times better than silver. Both diamonds and graphite are produced naturally from carbon. Diamond is an excellent electrical insulator, graphite is a good conductor of electricity.
