Choosing your black stone will allow you to bring useful energy into your life. At the same time, when choosing a stone for yourself, one should take into account its compatibility with the Zodiac sign and the effect it has.

In almost all cultures, black is opposed to white, and if white is the color of holiness, goodness, justice, light and resurrection, then black is the color of night, death, the devil and witchcraft. By adding the word "black" to any definition, we get the opposite meaning, colored in negative. For example, black widow, black mass. A black cat promises failure, a deadly army rides on black horses, a black chicken is sacrificed to the underground gods. In most countries, gloomy clothing means mourning.

But this is only one side of the symbolism. Monks and priests wear black robes as a symbol of repentance and conservatism. This color shows that the one who puts on it denies earthly vanity and splendor in honor of the future resurrection.

If we talk about a black stone, then all the values \u200b\u200blisted above apply to it. Everything will depend on the meaning of the owner. For one, this is a simple decoration that matches clothes, another will see the depth of space in the glow of a stone, and someone protects himself in this way. There are also those who use the black stone in rituals.

The group of black minerals is extensive and includes stones for every taste: pompous precious and modest ornamental.

There is a terminological confusion associated with the gem. Black diamonds are called grayish in color, but this is only a conventional name for the stone. Pique diamonds also have this name. The black color is a consequence of graphite, ferruginous and sulphurous inclusions. They are often visible to the naked eye. There is another type of stone - carbonado.

The structure of carbonado is a set of tiny crystals of ordinary diamond bonded together. The black color of the mineral is given by inclusions, magnetite and other metals, often very rare. It differs from the peak in its polycrystalline structure. The origin of the carbonado stone is not fully understood. It is not found everywhere and it lies not far from the surface. Scientists, reflecting on this, put forward several versions of the origin:

  1. Extraterrestrial. Carbonado - fragments of meteorites from supernova formation. This is supported by the presence of free hydrogen and rare metals.
  2. Terrestrial. Carbonado is a stone of deep origin, and it appeared on the surface due to the activity of volcanoes. Evidence - samples of minerals mined at the site of the eruption of the Avachinsky volcano.

Artificial carbonado is made in laboratories from graphite crystals. It is used for industrial purposes.

Carbonado is not used in jewelry, since it is stronger than the diamond itself and, accordingly, is difficult to process. What is found on store shelves is an opaque pique or gray shade.

Initially, this stone was considered the property of magicians and sorcerers. The version about cosmic origin gave reason to think that the mineral gives the owner supernatural powers, attracts the energy of space and allows you to control other people.

  • promotes fun during the meal. In India, he was thrown into glasses with his drinks so that there was no evil intoxication;
  • adds vitality to the elderly;
  • brings stability to life;
  • raises the morale of the soldiers;
  • adds prudence and common sense;
  • makes the owner charming and sociable.

Especially the energy of black stones increases in autumn and winter.

Obsidian

It is a mineral of volcanic origin. The lava that fell to the ground as a result of the eruption of the volcano quickly cooled down and turned into obsidian. This stone does not have a crystal lattice, chemically it is silicon oxide, and the black color is inclusions of magnetite. There are two main varieties that are used in jewelry for making jewelry:

  1. Snowy. White spots resembling snowflakes are randomly scattered on the black surface of the black stone.
  2. Rainbow obsidian. It is rare and therefore expensive. The black color and tints of shades from red to green resembles a drop of oil. It is sometimes compared to.

Jet

In its raw form, it looks like a coal. The similarity is not accidental - it is a relative of coal. In essence, jet is not a mineral, since it has an organic origin. In the past, this black stone was a prehistoric coniferous tree thrown into a swamp. Silt sediments were transformed into bitumen coal, and decay products soaked the stony trunk - after millions of years, jet deposits appeared in the place of the forest.

The jet is half carbon, the rest is water and mineral residue. The jet produced in different mines is different. In some, it is matte even after polishing, in others, on the contrary, it shines brightly. In ancient Egypt, African jet was made from. And the dull jet fell in love with the Romans, where they made amulets from it against black forces.

Jewelry with jet, made in silver, gold, complemented by precious stones are rare. Most often, it is used to make jewelry, pipes, mouthpieces, crosses, figurines and panels for interior decoration.
