THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF DIAMONDS:
BORT AND CARBONADO; BORT IS ANY VARIETY OF DIAMOND THAT CONTAINS COLOR, WHILE CARBONADO ONLY COMES IN A BLACK VARIETY. BORT IS USED IN JEWELRY DUE TO ITS COLORED OR EVEN TRANSPARENT ASPECT. CARBONADO IS USED TO CUT OTHER DIAMONDS AND ALSO USED AS AN ABRASIVE DUE TO ITS LACK OF APPEAL AND BECAUSE OF ITS GENERALLY SMALL SIZE IN ANY GIVEN SPECIMEN.
