Carbon, when it is in the form of graphite.
Why is graphite conductor of electricity?
graphite is a good conductor of electricity because it's electrons are free to move, and are very stable at the same time; however this means electricity can only pass through the layers and thus not powdered graphite.

graphite
Is a pencil an insulator of electricity?
see, the pencil's outer shield is made out of wood which is a bad conductor of electricity but the graphite core is a good conductor. thank you.
