TURKISH DIASPORE ' CATS EYE'

Hardeness6.5 - 7 OriginTurkeyTreatment None

Turkish Diaspore is the color changing variety of the mineral diaspore (an aluminum hydroxide), discovered in the Kucukcamliktepe and Buyukcamliktepe mines of the Ilbir Mountains in the Milas county of MuÄŸla in southwestern Turkey in the early 1950s. Turkish Diaspore is a rare gemstone found exclusively in one Turkish deposit. The nearest villages with road connections are Pinarcik and Selimiye, which are approximately 12 kilometers from the mining area. Turkish Diaspore is also called Color Change Diaspore or simply, Diaspore. Trademarked Zultanite is a related, but typically superior gemstone from the same deposit.
