Large Diaspore of this size remains highly desirable, particularly when combined with an attractive color change and natural character. For collectors who appreciate earth-mined gemstones as they truly occur, this stone offers exactly that experience.
The beauty of natural gemstones often lies in the details that prove they are natural. In this Diaspore, the visible inclusion is not a distraction but part of the stone's story, serving as a reminder that what you are seeing was formed by nature rather than perfected by treatment or enhancement.
At 11.24 carats and measuring 13.22 x 11.17 x 8.86 mm, this oval-cut Diaspore from Turkey displays a Honey Green to Salmon Brown color change with VS clarity. The gemstone possesses a pleasing color transition, attractive size, and a well-executed cut that allows both the luster and color-changing character to remain easily observable. The visible inclusion does not affect the overall beauty of the stone and instead contributes to the authenticity that many collectors value.
People who value natural color-change character over polish will understand this stone immediately.
The color change in diaspore operates through a well-documented optical mechanism involving the absorption behavior of manganese (Mn³⁺) within the crystal lattice. Learn more about Diaspore.
