With the naked eye, [included] crystals may look like white or black spots or tiny dots. Sometimes you may hear black marks referred to as carbon spots, but this can mislead people into believing that coal particles are in their diamonds.... Dark inclusions in diamond were for generations called carbon spots, although it is now known that amorphous carbon does not occur as inclusions. 5, record 1, English, - black%20piqu%C3%A9

À l'œil nu, ces cristaux [inclus] peuvent ressembler à des taches noires ou blanches ou encore à des points minuscules.

smoke : A phenomenon made up of observable fumes containing gases, solids and liquids. There are several kinds of smoke, the color of which depends on the combustion process causing the smoke. Thus, a coal fire will emit black smoke. A turbine ship whose nozzle might need slight adjustment emits brown smoke. A steel mill emits red smoke. A nitric or sulfuric acid plant might emit yellow smoke. And so it goes. But white smoke is usually not smoke at all, it's steam. 1, record 5, English, - red%20smoke

smoke : A phenomenon made up of observable fumes containing gases, solids and liquids. There are several kinds of smoke, the color of which depends on the combustion process causing the smoke. Thus, a coal fire will emit black smoke. A turbine ship whose nozzle might need slight adjustment emits brown smoke. A steel mill emits red smoke. A nitric or sulfuric acid plant might emit yellow smoke. And so it goes. But white smoke is usually not smoke at all, it's steam. 3, record 8, English, - black%20smoke
