Rare gem available through C5

Conscious consumers searching for an alternative to traditionally mined diamonds should consider Zultanite, a rare gem found in Turkey.

Zultanite is a unique color changing gem that will turn from sage green to champagne to pale raspberry in different lighting. This exquisite stone has a higer refraction index than a diamond (.048 compared to .044) and is hard enough (7.0 on Mohs scale) for everyday wear.

In addition to being durable and exquisite, Zultanite is recovered using only environmentally safe mining techniques. The Zultanite company claims to be having a very positive economic impact on the lives of the miners and the surrounding community in rural Turkey. As an example, miners are provided housing and meals as part of their employment.
