Pure crystalline carbon is always very conductive it seems, no matter the allotrope. Graphite conducts well, but it always conducts at its best (again, better than most metals) if the direction of the heat transfer is parallel to the molecular "sheets" graphite is made up with. Too bad it wouldn't work in a heat sink.
