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.

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.
Breathtaking blue .75ct Madagascar sapphire
This is a breathtakingly blue untreated Madagascar sapphire. The color is just spectacular. With a little bit of silk, a little bit of color zoning but overall a majestic royal blue that just shouts, "Look at me!"
Madagascar sapphires are renowned for their color. This one came from a stone that had just a hint of yellow mixed with this amazing blue. The results are stunning, and as an unheated stone, this color is as close to the perfect sapphire blue you're going to get.
This is the perfect stone for a ring or pendant and is large enough to be a center stone or could work being set with other stones as an accent.
The weight is .75ct, and it measures 6mmx5mm. Cut in a nice juicy pear shape.
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.
Lusterous deep green Swat Valley Pakistan emerald, 1.56ct 8x5mm

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.
