Black is associated with mystery and the great unknown. It is believed that wearing black or grey stones in jewelry, or clothing, suppresses and protects the emotions while portraying the wearer as mysterious, sexy, and sophisticated.

Black is actually the absence of all color, but we commonly refer to it as a color and black is thought to banish and absorb negativity, it is symbolic of outer space and the universe. In some cultures, black represented fertility, in others it represented wisdom. It is often linked with evil or death because in many cultures, black is the color of mourning.
