Prepare to be enamored by one of the rarest and most exotic colored gemstones on the planet—Diaspore.
If you have an affinity for exotics, a love for rare gemstones, or an appreciation for unusual gems that change color like no other, then this extraordinary gem is sure to captivate your heart. Even more enticing is that it is surprisingly affordable.
This exceptional Diaspore gemstone weighs over 5 carats and is thoroughly saturated with a captivating 'gemmy' quality that exudes plenty of sparkle. What makes this gemstone even more alluring is the presence of a 'phantom' inclusion—a tiny rainbow inside the gemstone, a highly desirable characteristic that adds to its spectacular beauty.
The gemstone is set in one of the most popular settings—18K rose gold, adorned with an abundance of high-quality diamonds. The rose gold enhances the gemstone's allure, complementing its green hue when it's in that color phase and accentuating its peachy tones when the gemstone undergoes its fascinating transformation. The oval shape is deeply cut for endless sparkle and held in place by an 8-prong rose gold setting, featuring approximately 0.66 carats of bright white, clear round diamonds that swirl under the gemstone and along the band, creating a truly one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
