while diamond is a good electrical insulator with resistivity of 100 GΩ·m to 1 EΩ·m, blue diamonds are natural semi-conductors do to boron impurities, except for blue-grey and blue diamonds from the Australian Argyle mine, which contain hydrogen impurities.
Thermal conductivity of natural diamond is about 2200 W/(m·K), five times that of copper. And monocrystalline synthetic diamond has the highest thermal conductivity of any known solid at room temperature: 3320 W/(m·K). At 104 K monocrystalline synthetic diamond reaches 41000 W/(m·K).

Since diamond is an allotrope of carbon,this it is an organic compound
And we know that organic compounds are good conductor of heat but poor of electricity
Hope it helps pls mark brainiest....
