Colour Change Diaspore is a Rare collectors gem
Beautiful, durable, exotic and rare, Diaspore is a color change gemstone and a rising star in fine jewelry. Its gemological name “Diaspore” comes from the Greek word “diaspora” meaning “to scatter.
Diaspore’s rarity isn’t just dictated by its natural scarcity and remoteness, it tests the skills of experienced cutters. Like Diamonds, Diaspore can split apart in one direction due to its perfect cleavage, making it one of the most difficult gems to cut. It is also critical that the cutter correctly orients each crystal to accentuate Diaspore’s inherent color change. With up to 90% of the crystal lost during cutting, its very low yield is one of the reasons Diaspore is so rare, especially in larger sizes (over 5 carats). It’s hardness of 6.5-7 makes it suitable for most Jewelry applications.
