0.45ct VS Chrome Diopside
Chrome Diopside is colored by chromium and displays a rich forest green that has similarities to tsavorite garnet and chrome tourmaline.
While not seen in mainstream jewelry stores, diopside is becoming more and more popular with jewelry designers for its intense deep green color. It is not a particularly hard stone, however (Mohs rating of 5.5-6.5), so it is best used for earrings, pins and pendants.
The best known sources for diopside are Russia and Kenya.
