Description

Gem Diaspore from this classic old locality in Turkey sets the standard for the species. This specimen hosts a 3.7-cm crystal, doubly terminated crystal perched in matrix of crystallized Margarite. Matrix specimens are very rare for this locality. Usually these come out only as loose crystals, loose floaters perhaps.
