You can also check the authenticity of a black diamond using any light surface that has a rough structure. You need to attach a stone to it, lightly press it down and draw it over the surface. If after that a dark red trace remains on the surface, then the mineral is real. Otherwise, you have a fake in your hands.

It is also important how the master processed the semi-precious mineral. The better the cut, the more expensive stone. Another factor that affects how much a piece of jewelry costs is the metal of the frame. A gold pendant will cost more than a silver one. At the same time, hematite looks great in silver. Therefore, it makes no sense to overpay, given that the price difference is quite large.
