Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Diamond is one the best heat conductors, not so much for electricity. A hand in contact with a metal that has been coated with something 10**(14--20) times more conductive shouldn't shock unless the applied voltage is extreme.

Describe the solution you'd like
DIAMOND flag implies a NONCONDUCTIVE flag, and remove the latter's opposite.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Teflon gloves..?

Additional context
Add any other context (such as mock-ups, proof of concepts or screenshots) about the feature request here.

This raises the question of whether the process literally coats things in diamond or if it's actually graphene (or one of its many relatives with similar properties). Both are possible with commercially available technologies, and can get you roughly the sort of insanely strong material depicted, but graphene is electrically conductive while diamond isn't. (I had kind of been assuming it was "diamond" meaning graphene myself.)

This is made up super science, if you want to demand realism you should stop using it.

CVD isn't made up superscience, it's a 30 year old real-life technology.
