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 banishes and absorbs negativity, it is symbolic of outer space and the universe. Black is the absence of all color. In some cultures black represented fertility, in others it represented wisdom. It is often linked with evil and in many cultures, black is the color of mourning.
