Item Description
Chrome Diopside is only found in a few world localities, but the Russian material is some of the most well known and arguably best quality. This stone is a fantastic rich neon green color, nearly eye clean "Trillion" cut gemstone. Chrome Diopside is a very rare gem considering that the only good rough comes from one place in the world, and the locality is under snow for nearly 10 months per year! It is very very difficult to find this material in clean stones so inclusions are accepted by most collectors and dealers.
