To break the curse of “Brahma”, later generations cut the black diamond into three pieces. One of them was The Black Orlov Diamond, which moved to Russia in the 18th century and became a royal treasure.

Natural Black Opal

Opal (OPAL) originated from the Latin OPALUS, which means “the beauty of the gemstone is one”. Australia, which was originally produced, occurred at least about 65 million years ago. Silicon dioxide sediments gradually appeared on the earth’s coastline. After 35 million years of evolution, silicon dioxide sediments have been transformed into soluble silica. After several rotations of the ground, they slowly formed the current protein stones. We can see that the entire formation process takes about 5 million years, which is a long process. It is not completely black. It is relatively lighter than Opal.

Natural Black Opal is the leader in Opal. Because of the scarcity, high-quality black Opal is expensive. As an October birthstone, people believe that protein can be given human power. In the ancient Roman era, Opal was used as an amulet. People believe that no matter what difficulties, Opal can give the wearer for power. Each Opal Stone has unique patterns, brightness, and color. Some people believe that Opal fell from the sparkling universe. You must know that a good-looking Opal has a very high collection and ornamental value.

Black sapphire

Black sapphire is a rare gem, and its bottom surface does not need to be polished. The naked eye can be visible to the straight or corner ribbon. The surface of the black sapphire is shiny and feels thick. It is exactly like starlight, and we can see several intertwined lights on the surface of the gemstone. These bright lines meet in the center, like the flickering stars in the night sky. As the surface of the gemstone rotates, the bright line will also move together. This is the starlight effect of gems.

The definition of “System Gemology” for the starlight effect is: “Under the light of parallel light, some jewelry and jade surfaces cut with curved surface shapes with arc-shaped and more than two or more cross-bright lines are called starlight effects. Each bright belt is called a Starline, usually, two, three, and six-star lines are common. It can be called four shots (or cross), six-shot star lines, or twelve shots. ”

The hardness of the black sapphire is 9, which is second only to diamond hardness. It can be translucent/opaque, brown, or black. Black sapphire can make people believe in their intuition and protect gem wearers from anger and intimidation.
