Black diamonds are also called carbonados diamonds. Black diamonds are found only in Brazil and the Central African Republic.
Approximately 600 tons of conventional diamonds have been mined, traded, polished since 1900. But not a single black diamond has been discovered in the world's mining fields. The geological settings where diamonds are found or mined are virtually identical with the one exception, the Black Diamond.
Diamonds are created by very high heat and pressure. Conventional diamonds are mined from explosive volcanic rocks (kimberlites) that transport them from depths in excess of 100 kilometers by volcanic action. Where Black Diamonds are found, the geological settings are not compatible with the formation diamonds.
So how are Black Diamonds made? Stephen Haggerty and Jozsef Garai, both of Florida International University, believe that Black Diamonds originate in outer space. New research supports the claim by Haggerty showing that black diamonds formed in stellar supernovae explosions. The diamonds were incorporated into solid bodies that subsequently fell to Earth as meteorites.
Many people around the world consider diamonds great treasures. The colors range from pink to black. Black diamonds are some of the rarest diamonds in the world.
Black diamonds are not sparkling like those of other colors, but these jewels can make stunning jewelry. The black diamonds have many myths about them especially in India. One huge diamond made a perfect part for a statue of Buddha because of the black color.
