Behandlungen anderer Farbwechsel-Edelsteine – und warum Diaspor anders ist
Color-change sapphire is routinely heat-treated to enhance color and clarity; color-change garnet is occasionally heat-treated. Synthetic color-change sapphire is widely produced. Diaspore stands apart: gem-quality color-change diaspore is sold untreated because no…

Warum Zultanit keine zweite Fundstätte hat
Diaspore is geologically common — it occurs in every major bauxite deposit on Earth. Gem-quality color-change diaspore is not, because the simultaneous geological conditions required (slow metamorphic crystallization plus the specific iron-to-chromium…

Pleochroismus und Farbwechsel bei Zultanit – zwei optische Effekte, ein Kristall
Pleochroism and color change are two distinct optical phenomena that both appear in diaspore. Pleochroism (different colors visible from different viewing angles in the same illuminant) is caused by the orthorhombic crystal's…
