Chrome Diopside (superb color)

Item Description

This stone is a fantastic, very good sized, intense green color, very very slightly included "Cushion" 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 incredibly difficult to find this material in clean stones and inclusions are accepted by most collectors and dealers, so when you have a gem well over 2 carats like this with such excellent clarity, it's a big deal. A great example of this hard to find gem, with fantastic color.
