About Diopside

Diopside is a pyroxene mineral valued for its green, black, and brown hues, with Chrome Diopside being the most prized variety due to its vivid emerald-green color caused by chromium content. It is moderately durable and often used in faceted jewelry. Diopside is primarily sourced from Russia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and South Africa. Its rich green color and affordability make it a popular choice for collectors and gemstone enthusiasts.
