Export Documentation for Türkiye-Sourced Zultanite

Diaspore
5 min read Fact-checked 2026-04-27

Türkiye-sourced color-change diaspore exported for the international gem trade typically carries documentation including a Türkiye Mineralogical Heritage attestation, customs declarations citing HS code 7103 (precious and semi-precious stones), and where applicable a chain-of-custody record traceable to the İlbir Mountains. Buyers transacting outside Türkiye should expect to see this provenance trail; absence of documentation is a material flag for further verification.

The verified facts

This entry is part of the Zultpedia editorial archive on color-change diaspore from the İlbir Mountains of southwestern Türkiye. The specific claims above are documented in the cited primary sources and cross-referenced with the related property guides and laboratory standards.

Editorial framing

Zultpedia treats color-change diaspore as a single-source mineral species first and a trade-name commodity second. Editorial standards, source hierarchy, and corrections process are documented on the methodology page.
