Zultanite may be called a diaspore variety, but it's technically a trademarked name for color-changing diaspores sourced from Turkey. Turkish diaspore gems have the highest quality of any diaspores. Besides Zultanite, the name Csarite is also a trademarked trade name for Turkish diaspore gem material.

Diaspore, also known as Zultanite or Csarite, is a unique and relatively rare mineral that belongs to the oxide mineral group. It is valued for its remarkable color-changing properties and its use as a gemstone. Diaspore is known for its ability to exhibit different colors depending on the lighting conditions, ranging from a yellowish-green in daylight to a pinkish-red or purplish-red under incandescent light.

Diaspore is a hydrous aluminum oxide with a chemical formula of AlO(OH). It was first discovered in 1801 in the Ural Mountains of Russia, and its unique color-changing properties make it highly sought after by collectors and gem enthusiasts. The gem-quality diaspore is generally transparent to translucent and has a vitreous to sub-adamantine luster.

While “Zultanite” and “Csarite” are trademarked names associated with specific sources of diaspore, the mineral itself is still known as diaspore within the scientific and mineralogical communities.
