High pressure, high temperature experimental work (diamond anvil)
Because diamond has such high thermal conductance it is already used in semiconductor manufacture to prevent silicon and other semiconducting materials from overheating.
Diamonds are inert (within limits, it will burn at 800 degrees C), is naturally electrical insulator, but it has high thermal conductivity (higher than metals), and make excellent material for high pressures and temperatures experimental work (diamond anvil), besides is transparent, so you can observe the progress of the reaction while is occurring.
As you know it is expensive, but many labs are using it for studying mineral reactions at conditions found in the earth's mantle.
