Lovely and surprising pink diaspore from Afghanistan. This relatively new gemstone is physically the same material as the Turkish diaspore, trade named Zultanite but look at this color! In low light it's a mauve or purple, but in bright sunlight is bright pink. This deposit was discovered in 2020 and appears to be very limited. Totally untreated with beautiful tube inclusions throughout. This particular stone is beautifully cut and weighs 2.17ct and measures 10.6x5.6mm. This stone would be ideal in a ring or a pendant.
