Black Diamond Rings for WeddingThis fact might take you by surprise, but there are some scientists who think and believe that the black diamond used in the black diamond ring has actually originated from outer space. And there you were, thinking that the American and the Canadian diamond mines were far off! A recent study by a team of researchers at the Florida International University in Miami has suggested that the black diamonds were brought to earth by an asteroid, about billions of years ago. They believe that this asteroid had crash landed in Africa and Brazil billions of years ago. Hmm, lets se if I can explain the science behind black diamond The black diamonds are called carbonado or "black" diamonds, there are other worldly stones which are said to be the color of charcoal or even melted glass and are also known to be full of bubbles. These can actually weigh a lot, up to about thousands of carats and can be found in many different colors and even shades, ranging from black to grey. They are often found in the shape of irregular fragments and have various textures ranging from being compact to being porous. They are often flawed on the surface and there are only a few pieces which can be polished and then used to make jewelry. |
