The Historic Turkish Diaspore Gemstone Hits the Market

Edmonton, Alberta Dec 12, 2024 (Issuewire.com) The eBay-owned Canadian classified site Kijiji.ca has gotten its latest gemstone. A Canadian entrepreneur has listed for sale one of the largest and most exquisite Turkish Diaspore gemstones ever discovered. This valuable and rare gemstone is a true treasure for museums and investors alike. Known for its unique color-changing properties, the Turkish Diaspore weighs an impressive 73.88 carats and is one of the largest in the world. It is not just a gemstone but a testament to its cutters' exceptional craftsmanship and expertise.

The owner initially sought to obtain the valuation from Canadian gemologists. However, determining its value was impossible due to its rarity and size. He then connected with one of the most accomplished and renowned gemologists and appraisers, Ms. Deborah Villepigue in New York, USA. Ms. Villepigue, who's clients include Paris Hilton and Lady Gaga, appraised the Canadians diaspore at over 7.7 million USD.

When asked about the massive value of the gemstone, Ms. Villepigue explained, "Turkish diaspore is sourced from just a single location: the Anatolia region of Turkey. One of its most unique features is its color-change effect, a characteristic it shares with gems like Alexandrite. This phenomenon, known as pleochroism, is highly prized by collectors and increases the gemstone's value. This 73.88-carat Turkish Diaspore is extremely rare. High-quality stones above 5 carats are already rare, a gemstone of nearly 74 carats is remarkable and likely one of the largest cut specimens in existence."

Ms. Villepigue continued, "This 73.88-carat Diaspore would be considered a collector's item. Large, high-quality specimens are seen as investment pieces, as their value tends to appreciate over time, especially as demand grows and supply remains limited to Turkish mines," when asked about the value for investment.
