zultanite from wiki:

Zultanite, now known as Csarite, is mined in a bauxite rich deposit in the Anatolian Mountains of central Turkey. The beauty of this gemstones is that is comes from a single source, much like Tanzanite. It is natural, untreated and has one of the most amazing color changing characteristics of any natural gemstone.Apr 12, 2016

Ini pintu masuk ke Goreme Osyx Jewellery store

 

haaa tudia cincin yg akak beli

USD210, oh akak letak harga2 kat sini so that uols boleh buat as reference

kot2 nak ke Turkey boleh sediakan duit gitu2 kalau nak membeli

sebagai reference ye ni..

batu ni sangat cantik ye, under natural lite (matahari)

dia akan bewarna ala2 pink

dan kalau under artificial lite (lampu kalimantang)

dia akan bertukar jadi hijau

From wikipedia:

Zultanite is the most exciting new gemstone of the new millennium for many reasons. First faceted in the late seventies, Zultanite is an extremely rare gemstone that despite its beauty and suitability for jewelry was previously plagued by scant availability.

From wikipedia:

Göreme (Turkish: [ˈɟœɾeme]; Ancient Greek: Κόραμα, Kòrama), located among the "fairy chimney" rock formations, is a town in Cappadocia, a historical region of Turkey. It is in the Nevşehir Province in Central Anatolia and has a population of around 2,000 people.^[1]
 
Former names of the town have been Korama, Matiana, Maccan or Machan, and Avcilar.^[2] When Göreme Valley nearby was designated an important tourist destination, a "center" for all tourism in Cappadocia, the name of the town was changed to Göreme for practical reasons. Among Göreme's historically important sites are the Bezirhane, Durmus Kadir, Ortahane, and Yusuf Koc churches, in addition to the richly decorated Tokali Kilise, the Apple Church, and a number of homes and pigeon houses carved into the rock formations in the town.

from wikipedia:

Dervish or darwish (from Persian: درویش‎, Darvīsh^[1]) in Islam can refer broadly to members of a Sufi fraternity (tariqah),^[2][3] or more narrowly to a religious mendicant, who chose or accepted material poverty.^[3][4] The latter usage is found particularly in Persian and Turkish, corresponding to the Arabic term faqir.^[3] Their focus is on the universal values of love and service, deserting the illusions of ego to reach God. In most Sufi orders, a dervish is known to practice dhikr through physical exertions or religious practices to attain the ecstatic trance to reach God.^[5] Their most common practice is Sama, which is associated with the 13th-century mystic Rumi.
