Raw Natural Diaspore Specimens Collection
The Raw Natural Diaspore Specimens Collection brings together unique mineral specimens created by nature through geological processes spanning millions of years. Distinguished by its natural crystal structure, original surface texture and distinctive colour tones, diaspore is one of the special stones attracting interest from mineral and natural stone collectors.
Raw diaspore specimens retain the original structure and character left by the stone's natural formation process. The crystal structure, surface texture, colour transitions and mineral formations can differ from specimen to specimen. Each raw diaspore specimen in the collection is therefore distinctive and one of a kind.
Diaspore can be mentioned alongside Zultanit, which is mined especially in Turkey and known for its colour-changing property. However, raw diaspore mineral and gem-quality colour-changing diaspore/Zultanit specimens should be understood as different things. The raw specimens in this collection highlight natural mineral formations and the stone's raw structure.
