An intriguing new gem from this relatively recent find. This color is relatively unprecedented in Diaspore, there are some extremely small Burmese stones that are close, but which are more purple and which never come this large. This stone is medium puplish-pink with no real discernible color shift (in contrast to the well known Turkish material). Very attractive and entirely clean, this material hit the market in extremely limited quantities and stones of this quality quickly disappeared. Superb example.
