Black diamonds are genuine carbon diamonds whose color comes from dense dark inclusions (natural) or from treatment. They measure 10 on the Mohs scale, the same as white diamonds, so they are suitable for daily wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNatural or treated black diamond — which does Segal use?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both are available.
