- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- The Enigma is the largest facetted black carbonado-type diamond in existence... but what does all this mean?? Julia will check out the simple statistics of this record-breaking stone and compare them to other stones in existence (and those that are no longer with us)...
The Enigma sold for $4.3 million (including auction fees) at Sotheby's Dubai in January 2022.

Intelligent and absolutely Beautiful. I usually don't comment on you tubers looks but she is AMAZING. Her accent is just icing on the cake.
Ah, thank you so much! This was a delight to read! Sorry it took me so long to read it 😅
Love this one. Well done Julia
propriety of the Hexican community now ;)
Good information , thank you 🙏🙏🙏👍👍🤭🤭
Miss really knows the real black diamond character👌
Thank you so much 😊 You can call me Julia :)
@@TheGemAcademy oke , julia thank's 🙏🙏🤭 , i am Anton from Indonesia
I learn a lot from you about diamond s I would love if you can look at some rocks for me Please
@@diamondmeteoriteandotherro8507 are you U.K. based? I'm afraid I do not identify via pictures as images offer limited information. Also... I'm more into gems 💎 thank you for your compliments and comments! X
Really interesting video! Thanks for all that information! I think where you highlighted the number of facets and carats and origin as significant is the key for this piece and why Richard Heart bid so heavily to acquire it.
Thank you so much for saying so! You're so welcome 🤗
Totally agree
Awesome - thank you, Raul :)
Thank you'
Sacrificing the ideal cut to make it all 5s goes to show they planned on marketing the hell out of this. _maybe_ from space, and it's a billion years old! Even though lots of rocks are billions of years old.
wow.. mahal sekali.. bagaimana bisa saya membelinya...??
Hallo miss i am from Indonesia... I have meteorite stone caarbonado mybe like Enigma.. But i dont know how to sale that...
Can i send a microscope photo of the black diamond I found in bedded in concrete rd in downtown Houston. If possible i would love your input
What, stones do you wear in these videos? Do, you only love diamonds? What, is the best cut?
Good morning ma'am. I'm from the Philippines. I have a raw black diamond pass by our great grandfather from the 17th century. How can I send you the picture so you could see the authenticity of the stone. Thanks so much.
I have this enigma black diamound.
معي مثله ولا اعرف كيف اتواصل معك وابعتلك صوره منه اوفديو
Nice
Hello i have read that there are carbonados that has a specific gravity of 2.6g/cm³ because of its porosity, the ceo of gem-a it was said by alan hart, is this a fact and truth?
Though I'm a gemmologist, I'm not a mineralogist, so the word of a very experienced mineralogist such as Alan would be a great one to listen to! He really knows his minerals.
@@TheGemAcademy so, its a fact and true that some carbonado black diamonds has an s.g. of 2.6g/cm³, thanks 🤗
@@joelsamson5687 I do not know - I would have to research that just as you are trying to do now 🤗
Ang Taon ay 1983 sa aming bahay sa bulacan; ako ay 13 anyos palang nuon; isang african ang bumisita sa aming bahay; hinahanap ang aking Ama; napag-alaman ko base sa kwento ng aking Ama ang african ay kanyang kaibigan; ang african ay matanda na nasa 60+ pataas na; may dala syang bag; inilabas nya ang laman ng kanyang bag na nakabalot din sa tela at ibinigay sa aking Ama; nang buksan ng aking Ama ang tela ay tumbad ang isang malaking bato na sobrang itim at malaki ito nasa 2 kilos mahigit ang tantiya ko...Sabi ng aking Ama sa african Anu ito? Uling? Sabi ng african hindi yan uling; yan ay isang uri ng itim na diamante sabi nya; Sa ngayon yan ay walang halaga; pero darating ang araw na yan ibinigay ko sayo ay magkakaroon ng malaking halaga; itago mo yan dahil ako ay babalik na sa africa sabi nung african sa Ama ko...
Bumalik ang african sa kanilang bansa mula 1983 hanggang 2015 ay wala na ako balita sa african na nagbigay sa aking Ama ng malaking bato na kulay itim na parang uling; Taong 2015 din namatay din ang aking Ama; naiwan sa akin ang kanyang mga gamit at lumang baol...Taong 2017-18 naglinis ako ng gamit ng aking Ama at nakita ko ang bag na pinaglagyan ng itim na bato na parang uling na ibinigay ng african sa aking Ama; naalala ko na lahat;
Gamit ang internet nag imbistiga ako kung ito ba ay itim na diamante;
Base sa aking pag-aaral at pag alam ng malalim lalo ko napagtanto na tunay at tutuo ang sinasabi ng african sa aking Ama;
Nag-anunsiyo ako sa social media sa facebook at youtube nagtatanung kung ang itim na bato na parang uling ay isang itim na diamante; inalam ko mabuti ito...at masusing pinag-aralan...

Ito ay sinuri ng isang gemologist na kanyang sinabi na ito ay:
Natural,not glass; crystalline content
Specific gravity 2.682g/cm³
The Stone so far shows the refraction characteristics of a diamond
Trigons in the exterior
Metallic polished interior
You should do a video with Richard Heart when he gets it.
I would love to. Would you know how to get hold of him? I would love to see it too! I was going to head to Sotheby's Tuesday to have a gander but couldn't in the end 🙃
@@TheGemAcademy twitter is your best bet i think.
The must have used a LASER to cut it, but to polish it, that was likely the big challenge. I bet its surface, if you could look at it from up close, is rather porous. A to the amorphous carbon question: this is a pretty decent explanation i found: in mineralogy, amorphous carbon is the name used for coal, carbide-derived carbon, and other impure forms of carbon..
I had a good wonder about this Dario! Quite possibly! Laser's we're around in the early 2000s, ey? Either that or they had it on a wheel for HOURS
Thank you so much for your amorphous carbon explanation. Coal! That certainly helps me understand a little better. Thank you 🙏
@@TheGemAcademy It's always a pleasure to watch your informative videos.
@@gems_lover_costarica4738 thank you so much - that's wonderful of you to say 🤗
@@TheGemAcademy My pleasure 💎💎💎
Cool video! Came across the Enigma through Nat Geographic and found myself here.
Thank you so much, and Welcome! I'm pleased you found your way here and enjoyed yourself! 🤗
@@TheGemAcademy I'm excited to have found the channel. I'm writing a book and your content/this video, in particular, is very helpful for my research. :)
@@CoreyLansdellInteresting! Whatcha working on?
@@TheGemAcademy A fantasy action story. Gems/minerals play into the magic system and the world building. :) It's a sloooow burn. I've been whittling away at this story for many years in the middle of all the other things I do.
@@CoreyLansdell interesting! Best of luck with its creation - hit me up if I can help with any questions! X
So Darling, When will we get the facts on this "Black Diamond" or Carbanado?
What facts are you after? 🤗
it's that magnetic the inigma 555.55 daimond
I'm not actualy sure if its magnetic :)
How can identify real black diamond. Carbinado mam?
Hello! Best way is SG :)
I have this black diamond meteorite 1600 gram
Hi Julia Maam Good Afternoon
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Easy to be amazed with small one see the facebook of Carbonado Black.... I was shock to see it that big more than 1,000 carats....
There's an Exquisite Natural black diamond is Coming out Soon... Much larger than the Sergio Carbonado!
Do you have the link for this? I tried searching Facebook but I don't think I could find what you mentioned :)
@@joelsamsone.r.c.c.6550 oh heeeey... what's this all about? Could you tell me more?
@@TheGemAcademy its origins from central Africa,weight is 8250 ct,luster of the cut piece is metallic black,given by an old African miner to an anonymous owner year 1983
@@joelsamsone.r.c.c.6550 interesting.. do you know where I could find out more?
Diamond
Can you watch my suspected 17500 carats natural black diamond,
Hello! What makes you suspect it is diamond/carbonado?
It isn't. Did you find it in Brazil?
@@TheGemAcademy it has no streak found in a streak test
@@JunkBondTrader I found it in Philippines
IS PEARL A GEM?
Yes - pearl is a gem :)
@@TheGemAcademy when u say gem same as diamond crystal?
@@joelsamson5687 Not necessarily. A gem is a wider term used for high quality gem materials, usually that have been fashioned, for use in jewellery or ornamental objects. 'Diamond crystal' very specifically refers to DIAMOND, of natural origin, unfashioned, that has recognisable crystal forms. It all sounds very boring when written out like this, but words have reference and connotation so its important to use the correct terms :)
saya mempunyai berlian hitam Nanti saya buat videonya
Thankyou for the Clarification on the ENGIMA DIAMOND . I believe I have a ENGIMA Diamond but how can I confirm that this is a ENGIMA DIAMOND . Kindly inform or iam willing to send pictures .
There is only one enigma diamond. They just made up the name for it. It's a black diamond.
مرحبا لدى عينه منهذا الحجر ولدى تحليل ولاكن يحتاج الى خبير وهذا رابط لحجر من العديد لدى إذا كان احد مهتم
WHEN YOU SAY DIAMOND MATERIAL.. IN OUR LANGUAGE ITS A REAL DIAMOND...
I avoid the term 'real' as I try my very best to stick to the terminology outlined in the Diamond Terminology Guideline (and in this case, The Jewelry Guides by FTC), which state that the term 'real' should only be used when referring to natural diamond :) May I ask where you are based?
@@TheGemAcademy then a carbonado is not really a gem?
@@joelsamson5687 The definition for 'gem' is a bit of a funny one. It could be considered a gem material. It's certainly not what would traditionally be considered "gem-quality". Let me get the cibjo definition of 'gem' for you....
@@joelsamson5687 Here you go - I've included a few of the relevant terms from the CIBJO Official Gemstone Book for you :)
5.36. Gem
another term, often used as an adjective, to describe an exceptional gemstone noting perfection or very high quality. See gemstone clause 5.38.
NOTE - only the term “Gem” shall be qualified with the terms “real”, “precious”, “genuine” and “natural”.
5.37. Gem materials
a term used to describe natural materials (5.54) that are used in jewellery and objets d’art (5.56) due to a combination of properties that provide them with beauty, rarity and relative durability.
NOTE - the term “gem” used alone often applies to describe an especially fine gemstone, e.g. “this sapphire is a gem”, “the emerald is of gem quality”. Also see Clause 5.36.
5.38. Gemstone
natural inorganic (5.47), organic (5.59) and biogenic (5.9) materials which have been formed completely by nature without human interference. Gemstones are usually used in jewellery or objets d’art due to a combination of properties that provide them with beauty, rarity and relative durability.
Note 1 - For the purpose of this standard all clauses and examples referring to gemstones may also apply to precious stones and ornamental stones.
Note 2 - The durability of gemstones may vary based on their hardness, toughness and stability.
Note 3 - Examples of various gemstone types, species and varieties, including naturally formed mineral assemblage/combinations, are listed in clause 3.1.1.
