Rare Pink Diaspore from Afghanistan. 2.17ct
$651.00
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 10.6×5.6mm. This stone would be ideal in a ring or a pendant.

1.12ct Milky and yellow streaked Oregon Fire Opal
This Oregon Fire Opal weighs 1.12ct and measures 8.8x6.4mm.
The stone is more translucent than transparent, and there are streaks of milky white mixed with the golden yellow that make this an interesting piece. It would look great set with Carnilean in my opinion and either as a ring or a pendant will look great.
14×10 Holley Blue Agate Cabochons
These cabs are aprox 14x10mm (but slight variations because they are handmade). Though some weigh as much as 7ct and some as little as 4.5, the average weight is 5.5ct each.
Some have a higher dome or more distinctive color or banding, etc.
If you're not familiar with Holley Blue, it was found near Sweethome OR in the past, but the collection site has been closed for about 35 years. If you've got Holley Blue now, it's extremely rare and getting rarer every day.

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.

This particular stone is cut with a very deep pavilion, making the green that much more intense. Color is a vivid green, with small inclusions.

Have you heard of Pink Diaspore?
This lavender to pink diaspore was first discovered in the Nangarhar province of Afghanistan in 2019 and started making its way to dealers in Peshawar Pakistan in 2020. Since we were in the middle of a worldwide pandemic at the time, this stone did not garner much attention, however one of my brokers in Pakistan got me some rough and I found it to be very interesting.
There are small tubular inclusions in the stone, which can be seen under magnification. These add some great light refraction. The color goes from almost a hot pink at some angles to a soft lavender color. The hardness is 6.5-7 and can be worn as a pendant, brooch, or with care as a ring.
This stone weighs 2.86ct and measures 9.6x5.9mm. Priced at a reasonable $300/ct, the total price for this stone is $858. Most dealers are now charging over $400/ct for this material.
