What are black diamonds?

In this world, in addition to the classic transparent and shiny diamond, there are many other colored diamonds. Whether natural or created specifically, in addition to the blue, yellow and pink ones, there is also the black diamond variety.

How is a black diamond created?

Black diamonds can be produced naturally or artificially. Usually, if the diamond in question does not have a stellar price, it is easy to understand its origin: in laboratories, originally low-quality diamonds are heated to very high temperatures, thus making them black. In nature, black diamonds are produced by the inclusion of graphite in the crystalline structure. These are very rare precious stones, which are found in very few mines in Brazil and Africa.
