The Sultan of Gems, Zultanite(TM), was named in honor of the 36 sultans who ruled the Ottoman Empire, a powerful and important sovereignty that spanned three continents at its peak. The term Sultan originally meant strength and authority, perfectly describing this robust gemstone. First collected and faceted by mineral enthusiasts in the late 1970s, Zultanite(TM) is an extremely rare variety of the mineral Diaspore that can contain color changing or color shifting varieties. Zultanite(TM) owes its unique palette to the minute presence of manganese.

Zultanite(TM) other key characteristics are its saturation, sparkle and durability.
