The black color is owing to presence of natural inclusions. A profusion of inclusions cloud the diamond as it forms. These inclusions capture & absorb incident light giving the stone its black metallic look. It is not unusual for black diamonds to have small surface inclusions.
This means that unlike white diamonds, a carbonado has no fire, brilliance, or scintillation. It derives its value from its size, clarity, and the purity & intensity of color.
