Black Diamond


Black Diamond

This article's goal is to describe two elements of black diamonds: the intriguing aspect and the useful aspect. We will start with some suggestions and insights about how to choose a black diamond and we will largely talk about the costs of such gems in order to make it easier for the purchase-focused readers.

 

Important to understand!


There is almost no possibility that a black diamond you purchased without a GIA certification hasn't been improved. Black diamonds are considerably less expensive than their white counterparts. An enhanced black diamond weighing about half a carat typically costs around 120 USD. Most of the time, the clarity is quite poor, and you probably won't even realize it. Start worrying if you've been told that your black diamond is clear. The best black diamonds are those that are set with white diamonds. In reality, the majority of black diamonds sold in the market are either white diamonds of inferior quality relative to their category or black diamonds with an undesirable hue of dark grey. To give these diamonds a rather lustrous, black appearance, considerable improvements of various kinds are being made to them. The technique mostly involves heating or sealing. Due to this, unless they are natural, black diamonds are substantially less expensive than white ones. There are almost no natural black diamonds that haven’t been enhanced and they are much more expensive and hard to find. If you are looking for a natural black diamond don’t buy one without GIA certification. Unfortunately, if you are looking for a small stone – under 1.00 carat approx. – it’s very hard to find one with a GIA cert.Many times, black diamonds are not as clear, and you must pay attention for any cracks with a Lupa around the teeth holding the diamond when you are choosing a diamond of any kind or a piece of jewelry.

This is caused by inclusions (which are materials confined inside the diamond) close to the surface in a way that the diamond is dangerous for inlay. If the diamond does not fracture during the inlay, it may fracture if it is struck against the teeth. A black diamond might have defects that are visible to the unaided eye. Prior to selecting your preferred one, pay close attention. In most cases, it is advised to inlay a black diamond between two white ones. When compared to a solitaire setting, which can just be a simple gemstone, it gives off a more aristocratic appearance.

 

 

The scientific and historical context of black diamonds


These diamonds are actually carbonado diamonds, which are composed of a
mineral. Although this material resembles a diamond in every way, it is harder in its natural state than white diamonds, which receive a 10+ on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. Black diamonds are pore-filled and more difficult to polish than their white counterparts. Their form is often smaller than a pea in nature. The mineral is frequently joined to other crystals, making polishing impossible. Black diamonds typically form in a dark grey tone, despite their name (thus, many of them are dyed to get the right color according to the market). They are primarily mined in central Africa and Brazil, where they were originally found in the middle of the 19th century. There is no evidence that black diamonds "grown" inside the kimberlite rocks, which is the natural home for white diamonds, in contrast to white diamonds. This indicates that there is a wide range of variability in terms of their origin. The traditional explanation mentions high temperatures and pressures similar to those faced by their white siblings. Some people might combine this notion with radiation-related explanations to explain the black color of the diamond. On the other hand, improbable hypotheses suggest that space is involved in the situation. The first of these discusses a meteorite or meteorites that struck the earth and left some gifts. The second is a supernova meteorite from around 4 billion years ago. There is broad consensus that these diamonds are at least 3 billion years old, regardless of the circumstances. In conclusion, it is important to keep in mind that enhanced black diamonds serve a purely aesthetic function and do so admirably. Because they are so inexpensive, it is not advisable to overpay for them despite the fact that they are robust.
