BLACK Diamonds.

Genuine black diamonds although
considerably mere valuable than the
ordinary white diamond, are not useo
for ornament. having an appearance
no more attractive than bill of stone
or fragment of coal. They are of dark
gray, brownish. or black color, and
opaque. without crystalline form. They
are somewhat harder than the crystal
or gem diamond, being In fact, about
the hardest substance known and are
found in irregular pieces, ranging In
size from one-half to 900 carats.
