Diaspore is hard enough to make a durable jewelry stone, but the typical light brownish color is not easy to sell. Despite the large Turkish material, this is a very rare gemstone indeed.
This gemstone shows the “colour change” phenomenon at its very best. Although the gem is normally a lovely pastel green, colourless and yellow specimens have also been discovered. The gem ranges from transparent to translucent and is without doubt one of the most precious gemstones yet discovered on our planet. Unfortunately, samples that are both transparent and have strong colour change can demand over $1000 per carat!
