Natural ocuring elements are?
All elements lighter than Uranium (atomic number: 92) occur naturally except for technetium (43).
What is polycrystalline diamond?
Polycrystalline materials are solids that are composed of many crystallites of varying size and orientation. The variation in direction can be random (called random texture) or directed, possibly due to growth and processing conditions. Fiber texture is an example of the latter
What is known as black diamond?
Carbonado, commonly known as the "Black Diamond", is the toughest form of natural diamond. It is an impure form of polycrystalline diamond consisting of diamond, graphite, and amorphous carbon. It is found in alluvial deposits in the Central African Republic and mainly in Brazil.
What is the polycrystalline structure?
A polycrystalline structure contain crystals with a random orientation.
Is the black diamond real?
Yes, a black diamond is a real diamond. According to Wikipedia: "Carbonado, commonly known as the 'Black Diamond', is a natural polycrystalline diamond found in alluvial deposits in the Central African Republic and Brazil. Its natural colour is black or dark grey, and it is more porous than other diamonds."

Are colored diamonds radiated or irradiated?
No, for a naturally coloured diamond, and yes, for a treated diamond with enhanced colour. Any diamond can be treated, either chemically or by radiation, to enhance its natural colour. Many naturally coloured diamonds require no treatment, because their colour is judged to be naturally ideal. A certified gemologist can identify a naturally coloured diamond, and can also identify and describe treatments to a diamond intended to enhance its natural colour.
