What is Turkish Diaspore/zultanite?
Zultanite is the most exciting new gemstone of the new millennium for many reasons. First faceted in the late seventies, Zultanite is an extremely rare gemstone that despite its beauty and suitability for jewelry was previously plagued by scant availability. There is only one mine producing genuine Zultanite, unlike other rare gems that are currently mined by many companies or in many countries. Zultanite is only mined at a remote location in the Anatolian mountains of Turkey directly from the host rock at an altitude exceeding 1000 meters.
The Turkish deposit remains the world’s only source of Zultanite (color-change, gem quality diaspore). in addition to their color change, Alexandrite and Zultanit’s names both have royal connections, Zultanite being named in honor of The Ottoman Sultans and Alexandrite being named for a Russian Tsar.
