RARE BRILLIANT BLACK DIAMOND – 0.92 ct – India NO RESERVE...

RARE BRILLIANT BLACK DIAMOND – 0.92 ct – India NO RESERVE...

This specimen is a unique rough diamond from India, with a compact and angular morphology typical of natural black diamonds. The stone is distinguished by a dominant black hue, enhanced by steel-gray and silvery reflections visible on the reliefs under lighting. Its appearance is opaque, with a diffuse adamantine luster generated by a multitude of natural micro-facets. The irregular and granular texture reflects a polycrystalline formation, resulting from extreme geological conditions deep underground. Technical characteristics Total weight: 0.92 carat Dimensions: 6.6 × 5.6 × 3.4 mm Origin: India Colors: Black, silvery gray Appearance: Rough, opaque, diffuse adamantine luster, polycrystalline structure Notable points Natural polycrystalline structure: The stone consists of an assembly of micro-crystals, giving a texture characteristic of black diamonds. Fragmented adamantine luster: The natural surfaces reflect light diffusely, creating discreet metallic glints. Balanced morphology: A compact shape illustrating non-homogeneous growth during crystallization. Historical provenance: Indian diamonds play a major role in the world history of gemology. Context and interest for collection This rough black diamond faithfully represents the original state of the diamond as it is mined, without any transformation. It is a piece of interest for discerning collectors seeking authentic specimens, witnesses to natural formation processes and the mineralogical heritage of Indian deposits. Conclusion A rare and refined specimen, combining polycrystalline structure, discreet adamantine luster, and historical provenance, ideal for enriching a specialized collection or a gem-ology curiosity cabinet.
