Critics argue that black diamonds are actually low grade diamonds. This is true. When diamonds form, high temperatures and pressures force elemental carbon to take on its crystalline form. In ideal circumstances, this yields white diamonds with no flaws. However in the case of black diamonds, a speck of carbon remains uncrystallized which goes on to discolor the developing diamond. This makes these diamonds low grade by normal measures even if there are no other inclusions or flaws. But inclusions and other flaws abound in colored diamonds. In fact clean colored diamonds are very rare.
