It includes precious, semi-precious and ornamental stones. Experts love diamonds, agates, onyxes, opals, pearls, sapphires, hematites and other minerals.

There are people's beliefs about the negative impact of these stones on energy, but you can work with them. It should only be used with extreme caution and scrupulous observance of safety precautions to use their useful qualities.

Despite the physical properties, the hardness index of most stones is usually low. Therefore, they are of little value to jewelers. But there are others, durable, the cost of which is extremely high.

The absence of black in the color spectrum contributes to the fact that only a person with independent thinking who relies on fortitude can like such stones. It is believed that this color is an indicator of negative emotions - sadness, longing, anxiety.

Black precious stones

Natural stones were often used as amulets for noble people.

A person with dark jewelry looks stylish.

Gems are credited with various mystical properties:

Black gemstones are not for everyone. Of particular importance is the sign of the Zodiac, which will determine compatibility with the stone.

Another detail is the type of decoration. It is believed that some stones are more effective to encrust in rings, others reveal their full potential in necklaces or earrings. From this comes the compatibility of stones for men and women.

Semiprecious stones

Black quartz, also known as morion, is the only representative of black semi-precious stones. In the Middle Ages, it was often used by magicians and alchemists, and various objects were also made from it: glasses, seals, vessels.

Morion is credited with such properties as:

  • transforming negative emotions into positive ones;
  • stress relief;
  • increase in the vigor of the owner;
  • reducing grief from the loss of loved ones.

Heat treatment makes morion look like topaz, which attracts jewelers.

Interest in the stone increased in the 19th century, when the fashion for the occult arose. However, this had negative consequences - due to high demand, the production of artificial morions began, which no longer have useful properties. This must be taken into account when choosing a stone.

Ornamental or decorative stones

Ornamental and decorative stones include the mineral jasper, then obsidian, hematite, onyx, jet, coal agate and black amber. Each of them has its own properties and affects the personality of a person. For example:

Semi-precious stones look beautiful and suit absolutely everyone - men and women. However, compared to precious stones, they have low durability, which explains the low interest among jewelers.

BLACK STONES IN JEWELRY

Anthracite gray stones are often framed with silver. This makes jewelry cheap, in the range of 5-7 thousand. However, platinum is often used instead of silver, with which any jewelry becomes much more prestigious.

  • A ring with a dark stone, framed in platinum, will look great on the hand of any leader or businessman.
  • Men's signet ring engraved and inlaid with black stone looks solid. With its brilliance, it attracts the attention of others.
  • Although jewelers rarely work with these minerals due to their low strength, this does not mean that their beauty is inferior to other, light-colored stones.

In some cases, dark inserts are used in belts; they are suitable for girls to emphasize the figure.

In jewelry made of silver and gold, black stones look stylish and elegant. The main thing is to choose the right clothes and play on the contrast of colors.

APPLICATION

Black minerals emphasize the conservatism of the image. Extravagant options are found, however, the best compatibility of jewelry with these stones is shown with a classic wardrobe.

Black color is one of the most popular. The main advantage of jewelry with dark stones is that they look great even with casual clothes. However, it is recommended to wear them no more than a few times a month. Allegedly, if a person is weak in spirit, then with constant wear, all the positive qualities of the stones will disappear.

For men

Men should pay attention to rings and bracelets with black stones. These products emphasize the authority of a person as a decisive leader who is used to being responsible for his actions.

For women

Black stones are suitable for strong and energetic women running their own business or in a leadership position. Earrings, rings, bracelets, light necklaces - all this will emphasize the sophistication of style and figure, show your inner determination.

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 attaching the word "black" to any definition, we get the opposite meaning, colored with a negative. For example, black widow, black mass. A black cat promises bad luck, a deadly army rides on black horses, a black chicken is sacrificed to the underground gods. In most countries, dark clothing means mourning.

But this is only one side of the symbolism. Monks and clergy 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 the black stone, then all of the above values ​​\u200b\u200bare related to it. Everything will depend on what meaning the owner puts into it. For one, this is a simple decoration that fits clothes, the other will see the depth of space in the glow of the stone, and someone protects themselves this way. There are 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.

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

According to the structure, 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 pique in its polycrystalline structure. The origin of the carbonado stone is not fully understood. It is not found everywhere and it lies close to the surface. Scientists, reflecting on this matter, put forward several versions of the origin:

  1. Extraterrestrial. Carbonado - fragments of meteorites from the formation of supernovae. 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.

In jewelry, carbonado is not used, 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 a gray tint.

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

  • promotes fun during a feast. In India, they threw it into glasses with their drinks so that there would be no evil intoxication;
  • adds vivacity to the elderly;
  • brings stability to life;
  • raises morale among warriors;
  • adds prudence and common sense;
  • makes the owner charming and sociable.

Especially the energy of a black stone 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 volcanic eruption 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 used in jewelry for making jewelry:

  1. Snow. White spots resembling snowflakes are randomly scattered on the black surface of a black stone.
  2. Rainbow Obsidian. It is rare and therefore expensive. Its black color and tints from red to green resemble a drop of oil. It is sometimes compared to .

Very inexpensive products are made from it: beads, rosaries, key rings.

The magical properties of the stone are noteworthy.

  • eliminates external and internal negativity;
  • helps to endure trials;
  • makes inert people enterprising;
  • helps to go unnoticed when required, relieves obsessive people;
  • contributes to financial stability, helps to repay debts;
  • develops clairvoyance;
  • a polished ball from - a means for divination;
  • a stone placed under the pillow during daytime sleep will call for help from the ancestors. Do not use this method at night, since you can open the way for evil spirits;
  • helps to fall in love.

It should not be used by people striving for power. It will form the wrong feeling of power. This will lead to breakdowns and failures.

Jet

In its raw form, it looks like coal. The similarity is not accidental - it is a relative of coal. At its core, jet is not a mineral, since it has an organic origin. In the past, this black stone was a prehistoric coniferous tree that fell into the swamp. Silt sediments were transformed into bituminous coal, and the decay products saturated the hardening trunk - after millions of years jet deposits appeared on the site of the forest.

Half of jet consists of carbon, the rest is water and mineral residue. The jet mined 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. And the matte jet fell in love with the Romans, where amulets against black forces were made from it.

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

They love mediums. Amulets with him are advised to be worn by those who communicate with the other world in order to protect them from the effects of evil forces. Amulets with jet will drive away all manifestations of evil from the owner. If you use figurines from it, then instead of nightmares and insomnia, calm, affectionate dreams will come. You can decorate the bedroom with jet panels or furnish with figurines.

For the talisman to work, it is necessary to set the black stone into silver and refuse additional inserts. The exception is colorless stones. They will only enhance the magic.

Jewelry with black stones may or may not like, but it will definitely attract attention. They look like space, you can admire them endlessly. With their properties, they have earned themselves the fame of magic stones. Dark gems oppose magic, remove the evil eye, develop intuition and the gift of clairvoyance.
