Diaspore is especially interesting in the color change varieties! Zultanite is mined exclusively in Turkey, I believe. One must just be careful because it exhibits perfect cleavage. Lovely ring!

The purple-pink variety doesn't display any color change or shift, correct? My jeweler has a few pieces that are quite a lovely color. But too small for me to ultimately be happy with.

I love that you're wearing it on your forefinger... handsome piece! And what beautiful foliage. In what part of the world do you live that the leaves have already changed into such a rich palette?
