What is Value and Worth of Black Diamonds

Picture

As a manufacturer, whole-sale supplier, retailer and an online seller of certified colored diamonds including blue, green and black diamonds, I get this particular question a lot and its very difficult to give a simple answer as its a very interesting stone and has lot of information attached to it! 

Infact if you google or yahoo questions related to black diamonds, you will find it very difficult to get a straight answer in a concise format so with this post I am just going to answer this questions – “what is the worth and value of black diamonds” in the best way I can.

Here's the deal : Black diamonds are real and seldom enhanced (It's still a pure carbon crystal, so called "Carbonado", but it is technically and by laboratory terms a diamond).They don't sparkle too much unless they are of AAA nature, because due to the fact they are coated or heat enhanced to get to the black color stage, they absorb light rather than refract it.

They are real earth mined diamonds, but they have a different crystalline structure.  The regular crystal structure of the diamond is what causes the sparkle: light comes in, bounces around in a pre-defined/predictable way, and is bounced out.  

Enhanced Black Diamonds have a "polycrystalline" structure, which means it's kind of like many diamonds smashed together.  Since they're all at different angles, and so you can't carve it to make sparkles.  Instead, the light just gets absorbed, making it black.


An Interesting take on the extraterrestrial origin of Black Diamonds (I am Not Kidding)


A team of very qualified U.S. geologists have published evidence relating to a different origin of these black diamonds: interstellar-outer space. They have found that black diamonds contain fine elements of nitrogen and hydrogen which they claim are sure indicators of an extraterrestrial origin.

The study  by renowned researchers found that the chemical properties of carbonado indicated that the mineral formed in a supernova explosion that took place prior to the formation of our Solar System about 4.5 Billion Years ago.

In this sense, Carbonado is found similar to carbon-rich cosmic dust, likely formed in an environment near carbon stars. The diamonds were eventually incorporated into solid bodies that subsequently fell to Earth as meteorites so its safe to say that they are a good 4 Billion + Years old. (Nearly as old as our Planet).
