Carbonadoes, commonly known as "black diamonds", are a type of diamond that has a dark, opaque appearance due to the inclusion of graphite and other impurities. Synonyms for carbonadoes include "black diamond", "carbon diamond", "carbon stone", and "bort". These diamonds are typically found in Brazil and in the Central African Republic, and are often used for industrial purposes such as drilling and cutting tools as they are considered to be one of the toughest materials on Earth. The term "carbonado" originates from the Portuguese word "carbonado" which means "carbonated". In the jewelry industry, carbonadoes are sometimes used as an alternative to traditional white diamonds due to their unique appearance.
