Are you talking about a Hematite/Alaskan Black Diamond?

Yes, but most are irradiated to achieve an even black color.

They are not that expensive, but I really love this ring with a famous black diamond. They are very hard obviously, so they're more about luster than anything else.

Yes - this is my 4ct natural one (not irradiated).

Black diamonds with good cut and no pitting are favoured but most on the market have a ton of pitting.

I love the contrast of the black and colourless diamonds.
