Yes, and the natural occurrence of this colour is attributable to the inclusion of boron within the crystal structure of the diamond.

Do colored diamonds occur naturally?
Yes. Coloured diamonds are coloured either by the inclusion of trace amounts of another mineral mixed with carbon -- yellow comes from nitrogen, blue comes from boron -- or based on structural defects: pink. You can read more, below, about how naturally coloured diamonds are graded, and see the rich mix of colours and combinations Mother Nature produces in diamonds.
Can gold occur naturally?

Why aren't diamonds made in a laboratory considered minerals?
Minerals are required to be naturally occurring. Synthetic diamonds are not.
Are the pink diamonds natural or are they colored by man?
Pink diamonds can occur naturally and are rare and valuable. Their pink color is a result of unique conditions during their formation deep within the Earth's crust. However, pink diamonds can also be treated or enhanced through various processes, such as irradiation or high-pressure, high-temperature treatments.
Is the color blue natural color of diamonds?

Is diamond natural occurring?
Yes - diamonds occur naturally in nature. Humans refine their shape to produce gemstones.
What is the price per carat on rare blue diamonds?
Diamonds that are naturally blue are among the rarest of diamonds. Recently the 5.16 carat Sky Blue Diamond sold in Hong Kong for US$6,400,000, or $1,240,310 per carat. This stone known as the De Beers Millennium Jewel 11, represents the creme de la creme of blue diamonds. According to its GIA certificate, it is a "... natural, Fancy Vivid Blue colour, Internally Flawless clarity." Read more about this stone, below. Because of its rarity and desirability, treating a naturally clear diamond to make it look blue -- which will only occur if the diamond already contains boron -- is one way a jeweler can increase the profit made on the sale of a diamond. Treated diamonds should be documented as treated stones. Gemologists will always be able to detect modification of a diamond, which devalues the gem.
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.
