What Is Diaspore?

At Ela-Mir, we work exclusively with one of the world’s most fascinating natural gemstones—Diaspore. But what exactly is Diaspore, and why is it so special?

Let’s take a closer look at the gemstone that’s turning heads on red carpets and in fine jewelry collections around the world.

A Natural Wonder from Anatolia

Diaspore is a rare gemstone found in just one place on Earth: the Anatolian mountains of Turkey. Formed under high pressure deep within the earth, Diaspore is mined in small quantities, making it exceptionally unique and desirable.

It Changes Color—Naturally

One of Diaspore’s most enchanting qualities is its ability to change color based on the lighting.

• In natural daylight, it often appears in hues of pale green or golden yellow.

• Under candlelight or warm indoor lighting, it shifts to tones of champagne, pink, or even raspberry.

This rare optical phenomenon, known as pleochroism, makes the stone feel like a living piece of nature—always evolving and never the same twice.

100% Natural. 100% Ethical.

All our Diaspore gemstones are untreated, natural, and ethically sourced. Unlike many commercial gems on the market, we don’t use synthetic or lab-created stones.

Each gem is:

• Hand-selected for quality

• Hand-polished by skilled artisans in Istanbul

• Set into timeless designs made to highlight its natural beauty
