Why black diamond is called as bort carbando?
Boart means industrial quality diamond (by nature heavlily included, near opaque), carbonado is the variety. Almost any boart can be heated to make black. There are 3 types of black diamonds, 1)Natural Black (opaque but slightly traslucent) 2)Irradiated (white, transparent, cloudy diamond, I1 to I3 clarity), can be transformed to black (opaque, slightly translucent, green traces when viewed with strong light) and finally 3)Boart diamond (60% of the diamond production). Entire diamond appear black (brownish to acerated hues), completely opaque, zero light can enter to it. From price point of view.
