DIASPORE
(Alternate Name: Zultanite® — trade name)
Appearance
Diaspore is a subtle shapeshifter. In one light it appears pale green or olive; in another, champagne, blush, or soft rose. Transparent to translucent, often faceted to showcase its dramatic color shift, it carries a liquid, reflective glow rather than sharp brilliance. The change is never loud—it’s gradual, responsive, alive.
This is a stone that moves when the light moves.
