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.
