Description
A black or dark-color Diamond. Carbonado diamonds have primarily been found in Brazil (Sao Salvador), Bahia, and Borneo. They are usually opaque, granular stones with no distinct cleavage. Carbonado diamonds are used for in Abrasive coatings on drill bits, and grinding wheels. They are also used on rock cutting saws, glass cutters, phonograph needles, hardness testers, semiconductors, and wire-drawing dies.
