sorry to burst your bubble, but technicaly the best conductor is Ozmium as a supercooled hyperconductor (the electrons travel at almost the speed of light, try wrap your brains round that!) so it'd require a whole new ore, also diamond is a insulator due to its molecular structure, carbon's have four boonds, in graphite only three of them are used, allowing for a 'sea' of delocalized electrons to conduct the charge at a very good mean drift velocity, however in diamond all the bonds are taken up buy other carbons (or hydrogens on the edge, giveing that 'shimmer') this means no electrons to provide a mean drift velocity, and no current, this also however, makes diamond a very good HEAT conductor, as everything vibrates together. so no, diamond pipe would be a blocking system.
