Chrome diopside is a very beautiful green for good reason- it is colored by chromium, the same element that gives emerald its color. This stone comes from Eastern Siberia, in Inagli in Sakha state. The emerald shape is very well-proportioned and nicely cut for very good brilliance.
The weight is 1.15 carats and the dimensions are 7.10 x 5.06 x 3.35mm deep. This gemstone is untreated. It was mined from the earth, cut and polished- that's all.
We select our chrome diopside from large parcels and always choose the cleanest gemstones that are beautifully colored and that show very good brilliance.
