Diaspore (rare)

Item Description

Gem quality Diaspore is rare in nature. The species itself it not necessarily rare, but the vast majority of examples throughout the world are opaque. The most famous gem material comes from the Selçuk District in Turkey. This stone is a lovely pale straw colored, "Pear" cut gem with nearly eye clean clarity. It's hard to find good gem Diaspores today because the entire locality has been purchased as a large commercial operation, so the supply is under control by a single operator now. If you collect rare gems, don't miss out on this beauty for a great price.
