Trip to the Turkey (April 2026) – Precipitates Research and New Page on the All That Glitters Website!:

Color Change Diaspore (also called – Zultanite, Czarite, Ottomanite and Turkizite) was supposedly seen in stores, as there were typically signs indicating that they had Zultanite, but what they had wasn’t Zultanite/Color Changing Turkish Diaspore!   They are selling something that appeared to be doped glass or some sort of synthetic.  Both the small and large gems weren’t the right color nor were they displaying it property to show the color change (utilizing incandescent or fluorescent lights) – they were using lights with colored filters, which colored the gems as well as anything underneath them.  SO…the truth seems to have finally revealed itself and is described in this Month’s Gem News!  Refer to link directly above – This Month’s Gem News…

 

New Page –  Doped Glass Sold as Zultanite:

This All That Glitters article, written by L. Allen Brown recently, which is also This Month’s Gem News, will be a permanent link on the All That Glitters Learn More page.

Updated Page – Our Tribute to Our Good Friend/Previous Fine Gemstone Cutters has been updated with information to be found at the bottom of this tribute page.  A nice biography of Stephen Kotlowski was discovered while doing research online and we wanted to share this information with those that remember him, have enjoyed his talented work or have heard or read about him in the past.
