Black Diamond

Black diamonds differ from other fancy coloured diamonds, as these coloured diamonds are usually formed by chemical impurities present during the diamond’s composition. Black diamonds are diamonds with a very high number of inclusions. While inclusions on a regular white or colourless diamond may show up as tiny dark specks, at extremely high levels, the diamond appears completely black. Thus, you have a black diamond. This makes it a very unique and rare kind of coloured diamond. The majority of black diamonds on the market today are treated to increase their solid black appearance.
