Pink diaspore from Afghanistan 1.26ct
$378.00
This pink diaspore from Afghanistan has such a captivating color. There’s a slight change in incandescent or low light compared to bright white light where it will turn more pink or more lavender.
This material was first brought to market in 2020, so it’s very new. The little inclusions just add to the unique look of this stone. It’s about a 6.5-7 on mohs scale.
How would you set this long, slender gem? The stone measures 13.5×3.4mm. Weight is 1.26ct.

1.92ct Oregon Fire Opal Pear
This nearly 2ct Oregon Fire Opal glistens and gleams and catches the sun throwing prismatic effects.
There is an internal fracture more easily seen from the bottom of the stone than the top. I've reduced the price because of this but I'm my opinion it's still a very pretty stone that would look great in a pendant.

3.68ct Pink Diaspore from Afghanistan
What do you love about Pink diaspore?
I love that it's a relatively unheard of stone. While it might look similar to stones like Amythist, purple sapphire, spinel or perhaps even morganite, it is the little inclusions that run through the stone, giving each its own unique fingerprint.
The stone also exhibits color change like its Turkish cousin Zultanite. Where Zultanite changes from brown to green, this has a subtle lavender to pink change in bright sunlight.
It was first brought to market in Peshawar Pakistan after being discovered in neighboring Afghanistan. The miners and people who literally risk their lives to bring a few handfuls of this material across the border into Pakistan are the true heroes here. One handful of stones can feed a family for a year.
This particular stone measures 10.8x6.9mm and weighs 3.68ct. It's a good size for either a ring or a pendant.
Amazing 1.16ct Swat Pakistan Emerald with natural inclusions
Don't you love the inclusions found in natural emerald? I think an emeralds inclusions are like Mother Nature's artwork, and she certainly felt like painting this one! This stone has minimal oil treatment to the rough only. No further oiling or other treatments. You're getting a stone as beautiful as nature intended.
This 1.16ct Swat Valley Pakistan emerald is a masterpiece. The color is vivid green with a hint of blue, making it the ideal color for emerald. The stone measures 6.86x5.39 and would be perfect in a ring or a pendant.
Emeralds are 20 times rarer than diamonds and usually much more expensive than this for the "real deal." Getting it from me at miner direct pricing saves you 100's of dollars.
Holley Blue Agate tablet pair
Do you love a soft lavender color? Have you heard of Holley Blue Agate?
This chalcedony only comes from one place in the world, and that's the hillsides of Holley Oregon near Sweethome.
The problem is that about 30 years ago, all access to this material was closed off by the property owner, making it nearly impossible to get any.
This agate, while called Holley Blue, generally is a purple/lavender color with peach tints in the right lighting. These two pieces are matched in size and shape and have only the slightest variations in color. This is some of the best material of this type you'll find.
This pair, cut into a diamond shaped tablet with irregular angles, would make a stunning set of earrings or would look fabulous on a brooch or pendant.
Incredible 5.6ct pink/purple diaspore
Have you heard of pink diaspore?
While most are familiar with Turkish diaspore, the green/brown variety of the gemstone sold under the trade name "Zultanite" few are aware of this new variety found in Afghanistan.
Pink diaspore is a rare and remarkable gemstone known for its captivating pink hues, ranging from soft blush to vibrant fuchsia. This gemstone exhibits a mesmerizing color-changing phenomenon, displaying different shades depending on the lighting conditions. It transitions from a delicate pink in natural daylight to a warm mauve or champagne tone under incandescent lighting, making it truly unique and versatile.
It was discovered in 2020 and wasn't available until after the pandemic opened things back up. This rare and beautiful stone is for those who want to be adventurous and the first to have the latest new trends.
I have only a few pieces of this rare gem available. Cut in a bar pattern that accentuates the color shifting; you can see it go from lavender to pink in the twinkle of an eye.
Stone weighs 5.6ct and measures 10.4x8.2mm and is 6mm deep. I've seen pink diaspore retailing for over $1000/ct, but my wholesale price is far less.
Swat Pakistan emerald 1.05ct
I have here a lovely oval emerald ready to go into your engagement or other very special ring or pendant.
This one has beautiful clarity and the most mesmerizing color. A true work of the earth's art.
Sourced from Swat Valley Pakistan, this emerald is only treated with minor oil. Nothing more.
Emeralds are 20x rarer than diamonds, but the price of this stone will not cost you nearly as much as a comparable diamond. This is because of my relationships with the source in Pakistan and the great price on rough I get, I can pass these savings along to you, the consumer.
