Chrome Diopside

Item Description

Here's something you don't see every day. This stone is an attractive, decent sized, intense green color, nearly eye clean clarity "Oval" cut gemstone of Chrome Diopside from Siberia. Chrome Diopside is a very rare gem considering that the only good rough comes from one place in the world (which has a shortened mining season due to the tremendous amount of annual snowfall), and the large percentage of the stones on the market are less than 1 carat. It is very very difficult to find this material in clean stones and inclusions are accepted by most collectors and dealers. A great stone of this hard to find gem, especially from the standpoint of size.
