Rudraksha's shades of color?/Ramlal (black coloured beads)

[Guest guest]

Dear Syzenith,

 

I have in my collection a pure black colour bead. The bead is a 11 mukhi bead

and it floats in water. I have not yet scanned the picture of it. However, I

will send it to you after few days.

 

Thanking you and with best wishes.

Namaste Ramlal,

 

I've seen all the other colors but not a pitch black rudraksha.

Have you seen an all-round black bead? I think the Siva Purana also

mentions the 4 colors for the 4 castes.
