Scientists have used a new technique to synthesize diamonds at normal, atmospheric pressure and without a starter gem, which could make the precious gemstones easier to grow in the lab.
I haven’t tried them myself but they have (at least in theory) a lot of benefits speaking for them.
You won’t wear them out, no matter how abrasive your filament is. At least until you print diamonds I guess.
Diamond conducts heat so much better than any other material you might make nozzles from it’s hard to believe. You might (or will) run your prints way cooler, or faster.
Several other things I won’t explain here because I have no idea and would have to make them up on the spot. But how cool would it be to print with a poly crystalline diamond nozzle? I bet you’d drown in panties.
Looking into it, these are very fragile nozzles. Even more so than the ruby ones. The Tungsten nozzles are the true robust nozzle. It will wear out if you’re using filament with abrasive materials but it takes a lot to do it. I’m going to keep it in mind but probably won’t consider it

Which could be a drawback.
