Description

This is Zultanite variety Diaspore. The specimen is sharp terminated and highly lustrous all around. It is formed like „Y“, the crystals are nearly flawless, there are no internal cracks neither inclusions. I already showed you the video - under daylight it appears in olive-green and switches to lavender color under artificial light. But the color also depends on the angle you look at it. The photo and also the video don´t do justice to clarity and luster, the specimen is much better in person.
