History: The first evidence of resin utilisation goes back to Ancient Greece. Chemical resins, particularly epoxy resin, have not been around for very long. In truth, the chemical process required to generate epoxy resin was discovered by a scientist in the 1930s.
Centuries ago, quartz pebbles with a high lead content were found sparkling on the banks of Europe's Rhine River. These beautiful, natural stones were highly coveted and were eventually depleted, inspiring jewelers to create an imitation, aptly named the "rhinestone."

You also need to know that a black rose is also a sign of true romance and affection. Power and Mystery- since black is an unusual and unique color, it eludes a sense of mystery and power.
