It might be big, but it does not look impressive, pretty dark, no shine.

YEah... its look no shine in this photo. Maybe its affect by the poor picture quality or low camera resolution.

Maybe it's just a fake - muassonite... Shown as diamond. There are a lot of black muassonite at ebay and so on market

Black diamonds are usually irradiated to make them black.
