Chrome diopside is a natural, semi-precious gemstone that bears a fiery green hue with a subtle sparkle. Diopsides comes from many locations but the top-quality Chrome diopside is found in Siberia. In Siberia, the climate is usually too cold to mine during the winters which challenges keep the production level even throughout the year.
Chrome diopside meaning is derived from a Greek word for ‘double appearance’. Gemmologists may have chosen this name to justify the unique prism-like orientation of Chrome diopside crystal. The hardness of Chrome diopside on the Mohs scale is rated near 5.5 and is considered a suitable gemstone for jewelry. It is best to cut Chrome diopside in round shapes like oval, round, or pear but can be found in customized shapes as well. Chrome diopside is often addressed as ‘Siberian emerald’ due to its chromium-rich green hue.
