Really?

Earth has been impacted how many thousand times by km+ items?

On our moon there’s roughly 300,000 craters of 1 km or larger (of
mostly craters within craters, within craters). Earth has 13.5 times
the surface area plus a whole lot more gravity for attracting stuff.

There should be lots of local carbonado, but if not for being impacted
we'd have very little, whereas the naked surface of our physically
dark moon should be covered in a blanket of carbonado and otherwise
shards of dark basalt worth 3.5+ g/cm3.

Then perhaps those rings are not of black diamond, unless you bought
them from an idiot that didn't know the difference between fused
basalt and true carbonado.

Large volumes of carbonado (aka black diamond) could make super-strong
tether fibers of any continuous length.

Extremely large TBMs could use carbonado tipped cutting wheels.

I have several kg of raw carbonado. Those "8 loose stones" could all
come from one of my smaller raw carbonado stones.

My cache of carbonado looks and measures exactly like this:

( it's not http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthracite )

What's the largest uncut black diamond of carbonado you've ever seen
or heard of?

the company also sells plenty of jewelry with black diamonds

Also if you saw the movie Sex and the City where Mr. Big gives Sarah Jessica
Parker a wedding ring, it's a black diamond

They're not exactly ubiquitous
But they're not that hard to find either

I also have numerous stones of carbonado, though again they're not
from Earth other than that's where they ended up.
