• A majority of black diamonds are natural treated diamonds, which mean they were mined from the earth and irradiated, or exposed to a strong radioactive and heat treatment that darkens the stone's color. 
• Because this process is permanent, GIA does grade irradiated diamonds and will laser inscribe the diamond, verifying the diamond has been irradiated.
• These are real diamonds, and the value of the diamond is not sacrificed with this treatment.
