EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, two exquisite variations of the mineral Chrome Diopside are showcased, each displaying their unique allure. On the left, a deep-green faceted cut stone captivates the eye with its brilliant sparkle and intricate faceting. The origin of this gemstone remains a mystery, adding to its enigmatic charm. On the right, a small translucent green detached crystal emerges from Outokumpu, Finland. This crystal showcases the more natural form of Chrome Diopside, with its smooth, unaltered surfaces revealing the intricate internal structure of the mineral. Chrome Diopside, a calcium magnesium silicate, is a member of the pyroxene silicate mineral family. Its inosilicate structure consists of a single chain of silicon-oxygen tetrahedra, with magnesium and calcium ions occupying the octahedral sites. The presence of chromium ions imparts the mineral's distinctive green color. The deep-green faceted gemstone on the left undergoes a meticulous cutting process to reveal its hidden beauty. The facets reflect light, creating a dazzling display of reflections and flashes, enhancing the gem's allure. In contrast, the translucent green crystal on the right offers a glimpse into the mineral's natural form. Its smooth surfaces reveal the intricate internal structure of the mineral, providing a window into its unique properties. Both variations of Chrome Diopside showcase the mineral's captivating green hue and intriguing structure. Whether in its faceted gemstone form or as a natural crystal, Chrome Diopside continues to fascinate mineral enthusiasts and collectors alike.
