Black Diamond
The black diamond, also called carbonado diamond , is a precious stone that is both mysterious and fascinating, very different from classic diamonds.
💎 What is a black diamond?
Black diamond is a rare variety of polycrystalline diamond. Unlike colorless or colored diamonds (yellow, pink, blue, etc.), it has an opaque black color due to the presence of graphite, pyrite or hematite inclusions, as well as its very particular internal structure.
🌍 Origin and particularities
-
Geological origin : Black diamonds are not formed in the same way as traditional diamonds. They are found mainly in Brazil and the Central African Republic .
-
Cosmic Hypothesis : Some scientists believe they came from meteorites or formed in space about 3 billion years ago, due to their high hydrogen content and porous texture.
-
Structure : Unlike other diamonds, carbonados are aggregated from small diamond crystals , which gives them great strength and a rougher appearance.
🧠 Symbolic and energetic properties (lithotherapy)
In lithotherapy, the black diamond is associated with:
-
Inner strength : It symbolizes resilience, mental power and stability.
-
Protection : It is said to protect against negative energies and external influences.
-
Grounding : It helps you stay connected to reality and keep your feet on the ground.
💍 Use in jewelry
-
Appearance : Opaque, deep black with a metallic luster. Less brilliant than a white diamond, but very elegant and mysterious.
-
Trend : Very popular in recent years for original engagement rings or modern jewelry, often worn by celebrities.
-
Price : Less expensive than conventional diamonds, although some rare specimens (natural, untreated) can fetch high prices.
