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.

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.

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!"

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.

Pink/purple diaspore 2.86ct
Do you like rare gemstones?
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.
