Zultanite?<\/h2>\n

\nI get Excited when I see a New Line of Jewelry, a Dazzling Diamond, or a Stunningly Beautiful Gemstone<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

\nAnd so when I saw this New Gemstone<\/strong> (A Tweet from @ZultaniteGems<\/a>) my Mouth Fell Open!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nIt’s a Gem called “Zultanite<\/strong>” and I was Instantly in Love (and you will be too<\/strong>). <\/p>\n

This is Zultanite<\/h2>\n

\n\"Color<\/p>\n

Granted these Stones are Some of the BIGGEST of the BEST<\/strong>, but still…<\/p>\n

WOW!<\/h2>\n

The Thing that Grabbed me the Most<\/strong> about this Stone, was not only the Intense Vivid Colors<\/strong> that Displayed from the Stone, but the Intensity <\/strong>of them.<\/p>\n

\nI’ve never seen a Stone show so Many Colors at once…<\/p>\n

\nZultanite used to be a Collector’s Gemstone<\/strong>, but not any more!<\/p>\n

On Sale Now!<\/h2>\n

\nThe Public can now Purchase Zultanite<\/strong> themselves.<\/p>\n

\nHow Wonderful!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nAnd then this One Phrase Caught my Eye and Made me Stop and Drool<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Color Changing Gemstone!<\/h2>\n

\nWhat?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nColor Changing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nNow I’ve seen Color Changing Gems<\/strong> Before, the Most Common Gem is Alexandrite<\/a>\"\", along with Fluorite, Garnet, and Sapphire<\/strong>, as shown below…<\/p>\n

\n\"Color<\/p>\n

These Color Changing Stones Generally Exhibit only 2 Distinct Color Palettes<\/strong> (Which is called Pleochroism<\/a>). <\/p>\n

Zultanite is Different!<\/h2>\n

\nZultanite is Light Sensitive and shows a Plethora of Different Hues and Colors<\/strong> ALL at the Same Time (Something Totally Unheard of<\/strong>)! And the Color Change that Happens can be Dramatic, Obvious, and Unique<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nSee For Yourself…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\"Color<\/p>\n

The Colors Can Be Extreme!<\/h2>\n

The Range of Colors in these Stones can Change from Canary Yellow<\/strong>, Cognac Pink, Ginger<\/strong>, Kiwi Green, Raspberry Pink<\/strong>, Rich Champagne, and Sage Green<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

It’s INSANE!<\/h2>\n

\nWhen you hold these Stones in Different Lighting Atmospheres<\/strong> (Inside, Outside, Fluorescents, Incandescence), they can all Look Different!<\/strong> (Just think of the Wardrobe Possibilities; You Can Wear them with Chocolate, Golds, Greens and Mochas!<\/strong>)<\/p>\n

\nWhen you View it under Sunny Skies, it looks Yellow-Green<\/strong>. See it in Traditional Light (Mixed Lighting), it looks Champagne<\/strong>. Hold it under Candlelight, it’s Raspberry <\/strong>in Hue. I’ve tested it, the Stone is Wonderful and the Colors are Crazy!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nSee all of the Color Changes<\/strong> Below…<\/p>\n

\n\"Color<\/p>\n

It Really Is Amazing!<\/h2>\n

\nResults will Vary<\/strong> of course, but the more Different Types of Light you have, the More Noticeable the Change becomes!<\/strong> (Like Inside with Direct Sunlight through the Window… SUPERB!<\/strong>) <\/p>\n

\nAnd the Bigger <\/strong>the Stone you BUY<\/strong>, the More Striking <\/strong>and Intense <\/strong>the Colors will be (I’m Talking Large Carat Weights<\/strong>, like 4-5 Carats)<\/p>\n

So What is Zultanite?<\/h2>\n

\nZultanite is a Trademarked Name<\/strong> for High-Quality Diaspore<\/strong>. Diaspore was First Discovered in 1801, and only Recently Recognized as “Plausible Gemstone Material<\/strong>” in 1977.<\/p>\n

\nIt’s a Durable Gem<\/strong> (6.5-7 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness<\/a>), making it Very Comparable to Amethyst <\/strong>and other Quartz Stones.<\/p>\n

Diaspore, the Inferior Stone?<\/h2>\n

\nSadly, Diaspore has taken a Bad Rap over the Years, because the Stones were Originally Cut Poorly<\/strong> and Filled with Huge Visible Inclusions<\/strong>. The Result was Not a Pretty Stone<\/strong>. So “Diaspore<\/strong>” was considered “Bad Quality<\/strong>“, Hence the Reason no one Heard about it.<\/p>\n

Zultanite Changed That<\/h2>\n

\nOfficially Named in 2005<\/strong>, Commercially Mined in 2006, and Trademarked in 2008<\/strong>, Zultanite takes Diaspore to a Whole New Level.<\/p>\n

\nZultanite’s Mission is to ONLY Sell High-Quality Diaspore<\/strong> (Which is just 2% of the Yield). And Only Sell Stones that are “Eye-Clean<\/strong>” (Meaning No Eye-Visible Inclusions from 6″ away<\/strong> with the Unaided Eye, you’ll need a 10x Jeweler’s Loupe<\/a> to See any Inclusions; GIA <\/strong>Calls these Stones “Type II Transparent Gemstones<\/strong>“).<\/p>\n

\nMost Gems on the Market (Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald…) have LOTS of Eye-Visible Flaws<\/strong>. It’s Very Rare to Find any Gemstone without Black Spots, Lines, Clouds or Imperfections <\/strong>Visible to the Naked Eye.<\/p>\n

Zultanite is Clean!<\/h2>\n

\nIt makes them so much More Stunning!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nPlus, all the Stones they Produce are Optimally Cut<\/strong> and Faceted so their Unique Color-Change is Maximized<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And it’s Working!<\/h2>\n

\nToday, Zultanite is Exclusive<\/strong>, Desirable, Exotic<\/strong>, and Very, Very Rare<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Extremely Rare<\/h2>\n

\nWith just a Couple Thousand Stones Available<\/strong>, this Gem is RARE, RARE, RARE!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nAnd as Demand Increases<\/strong>, this Reasonably Priced Gemstone will Sky Rocket!<\/strong> <\/p>\n

\nSo if you Want one, you should Buy One Today!<\/a><\/p>\n

The Limited Quantities<\/strong> make it Hard to Mass Produce, but the Outcome is Tremendous<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\nAnd not only are they Ultra-Rare<\/strong>, but the Stones are NOT Heat Treated<\/strong> or Color Enhanced!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Never Heat Treated<\/h2>\n

\nThink about this: 90% of all the Gemstones on the Market<\/strong> right NOW <\/strong>are Enhanced or Heat Treated to make them Look Better<\/strong> (Gemstones like Peridot, Topaz, Tourmaline<\/strong>, Citrine, Sapphire<\/strong>, Emerald, and Aquamarine<\/strong>…) <\/p>\n

\n\"Heat<\/p>\n

Zultanite is NEVER Enhanced<\/h2>\n

\nWhat you see is what you get. The Main Ingredient that’s Responsible for this Color Change is Manganese<\/strong> (Zultanite also Contains Minerals like Iron, Chromium, and Titanium).<\/p>\n

\nAnd the Bigger <\/strong>the Stone, the BETTER the Color Change<\/strong>. I can’t Stress this Enough. Smaller Stones may not look so Appealing<\/strong>, but Large Stones create Quite an Impact!<\/strong> <\/p>\n

\nAnd Size shouldn’t be that Big of an Issue since most Zultanites Sold on the Market are in the 3-5 Carat Range<\/strong> anyway (Anything over 5 Carats is Beyond Rare <\/strong>and Extremely Expensive<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Location Location Location<\/h2>\n

\nSpeaking of RARE<\/strong>, Zultanies are only Found in ONE Mine in the Entire World<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\nONE!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where is this Single Mine?<\/h2>\n

\nTurkey!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nHigh in Anatolian Mountains, Located 4,000 Feet above Sea Level<\/strong>, you’ll find the One Remote Mine that Brings these Amazing Gemstones to Life<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But Buyer Beware<\/h2>\n

\nYou have to be Careful when Buying Zultanite<\/strong>, because many Unethical Turkish Jewelers have Obtained Diaspore (The Low-Quality Stones<\/strong>), and are Selling them as “Zultanite<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

\nSome of these Stones are even Man-Made Glass<\/strong>! Other Stones are Simply Poor Fakes or Look-A-Likes. You could get Ripped Off<\/strong> if you don’t Buy from a Credible and Official Source<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nThe Lesson to Learn here is:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don’t Buy Zultanites from Turkey!<\/h2>\n

\nAs Crazy as it Sounds, it’s True<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nTo be SURE you Receive a True Stone<\/strong>, make sure it comes with an Authenticity Guarantee<\/strong>, which is a Plastic Card with an Embedded Hologram<\/strong> that Verifies Zultanite as Genuine<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

\n\"Zultanite<\/p>\n

Names are Confusing<\/h2>\n

\nThere are Many Names that you may see on the Market for Color Changing Diaspore:<\/strong> Turkish Diaspore, Empholite, Kayerite, and Tanatarite. These “Alexandrite-Like<\/strong>” Gems can also be Confused with the Lab-Created Stone “Zandrite<\/strong>” (Which is Featured on the Home Shopping Network<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

\nSo really, you have to be Cautious <\/strong>when Purchasing Zultanite in Order to get the Real Deal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For Example:<\/h2>\n

\nThis Particular Diaspore is actually listed on Amazon<\/a> with the name “Zultanite<\/strong>” in the Title. <\/p>\n

It’s NOT ZULTANITE!<\/h2>\n

\nIt’s just Turkish Diaspore<\/strong>, and the Lister even goes so far to say that it’s NOT Cut Well<\/strong>, and that there are Visible Fissures near the Culet!<\/strong> Plus, there is no Authenticity Guarantee<\/strong> either! <\/p>\n

See the Screenshot below…<\/h2>\n

\n\"Turkish<\/a><\/p>\n

So Yes, Be Careful!<\/h2>\n

\nIf you Truly Want to Identify a Zultanite Stone<\/strong>, then Grab this Book on Exotic Gems<\/a> and Teach yourself.<\/p>\n

Care and Cleaning<\/h2>\n

\nZultanites are Easy to Care for<\/strong>. Just like you would Most Rare Gemstones, Zultanites should be Cleaned with Mild Soap and Water<\/strong>. These Stones should NOT be Subjected to Heat<\/strong> (As in Jeweler’s Torch, Steam Cleaners, or Ultrasonic Cleaners<\/a>\"\"). Clean them by Hand, and also Keep them Away from Harsh Chemicals<\/strong>, Detergents, or Extreme Temperature Changes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nAfter all, you wouldn’t want anything to Harm your Precious Stone<\/strong>. <\/p>\n
