Turkish diaspore

タイトルまたは説明

The Sultan of Gems
Coveted throughout the centuries by kings and sultans of the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires, the Anatolian mountains hold a secret gemmologists believe has been kept for over millions of years. A precious gemstone so exceptional, it has been identified as a previously unknown variety of diaspore. Only found in one place in the world, Csarite is meticulously excavated at a height of more than 3,**0 feet in the remote foothills of the Anatolian mountains in Turkey.
 
 
Challenging to Attain
Csarite is mined at a location so remote, its whereabouts have only recently been discovered in our lifetime. Its seclusion and inaccessibility have tested modern equipment and engineering technology to supply running water and electricity to the area, and into the depths of these great mountains. As the worlds only Csarite deposit, its exclusivity is without question.
 
 
The Rarest of Gemstones
The more rare the gemstone, the greater its value. Csarite places this concept of rarity into an entirely new point of reference. While it is said that Tanzanite is 1,**0 times more rare than a diamond, Csarite exceeds the rarity of Tanzanite by ten times more. Further still, just *0 per cent of the rough crystals mined are suitable for faceting, and *8 per cent of these are lost during cutting.
A precious gemstone *0,**0 times more rare than a diamond.
 
 
Nothing Enhanced, Nothing Treated
Today most gemstones have been heated, radiated, diffused, filled, dyed, bleached, oiled or any possible combination of these.
While most gemstones make use of treatments used to falsely enhance their colour and appearance, Csarites qualities together with its colour palette are both pure and natural. From the earth, unpolluted
 
 
Ethically Mined, Locally Supported
Csarite has a direct and positive affect on the lives of its miners. All of our employees are housed and fed on site and paid over and above the average earnings for miners in the region. Fully insured, every one of our employees works in safe working conditions which are subject to regular government and environmental inspection. We also donate food supplies every six months to more than **0 homes in the villages surrounding the mine, their local communities and their schools.
 
 
Environmental Respect
Csarite also has a positive impact on its natural surroundings, as our entire underground operations were designed from the outset to allow minimal impact to the surface of our mountains. With fewer trees felled and no major excavations necessary, even the water waste we produce is collected and removed by vehicles to ensure zero soil contamination. And for the few trees which do require felling, we ensure that they are professionally handled and brought to the ground by the Forestry department, whom we voluntarily fund to plant more than *0 trees for every one cut down.
 

A Unique Characteristic
Incomparable and unique, Csarite has become a leader in the fine jewellery industry since its discovery due to its sparklingly bright yet tranquil colours. It can change from kiwi greens in sunlight, to raspberry purplish-pinks in candlelight. But unlike other colour-change gems, Csarites colour change is not limited to two primary colours. Incredibly, the same Csarite can exhibit khaki greens, cognac pinks, canary yellows, pinkish champagnes, sage greens, raspberry purplish-pinks and vibrant gingers under a variety of different light sources.
 
 
A Fashion Highlight
While simply wearing Csarite unveils its breathtakingly diverse colours, one of its most unique features is that, unlike other colour-change gemstones, Csarite s superlative colour change ability is not dependant on dark tones within the stone. This characteristic has caught the imagination of women the world over, who prefer Csarite for its more subtle pastel colours to complement the rich, earthy tones of green, chocolate, mocha and gold which makes the precious stone wearable in any fashion, and instills a timeless, classic appeal.
 
 
 
A Rare Find
Remarkably, Csarite possesses another phenomena seldom found among gemstones: the cat's eye effect. Known by its technical term, chatoyancy appears as a brilliant band of light reflected across the surface of the gemstone. The presence of these rare abilities, that of colour-change and chatoyancy combined, have even led some in the fine jewellery industry class Csarite as a 'double phenomena' gemstone. A truly rare find, left undiscovered for more than **0 million years.
