Significance
Although black is not a favorite color for many people, wearing a black gemstone will give you a special touch and set you apart from others. This color represents elegance, prestige, authority, courage and personal empowerment. It also represents style, formality and security. In cultures such as Egypt, the color black was used to attract women's fertility. Today, many people prioritize color over the actual variety of gemstones. But finding a stone by color can be very difficult as the market often lists stones by variety rather than by color. When we think of black gemstones, we don't usually think of many types, but there are many black colored gemstones available today.
2. Origin of the color black
Black gemstones have this color because of the amount of iron inside the crystal and in the chemical composition of the stone. The higher the percentage of iron, the darker the stone.
