Chrome Diopside

Item Description

Here's something you don't see every day. This stone is a fantastic, LARGE, intense green color, nearly eye clean "Step Oval" cut gemstone of Chrome Diopside. Chrome Diopside is a very rare gem considering that the only good rough comes from one place in the world (which has a shortened mining season due to the tremendous amount of annual snowfall), and the large percentage of the stones on the market are less than 1 carat. The fact that this gem is over 4 carats (very close to 5 carats) is very impressive, and is certainly one of the largest I have offered for sale. It is very very difficult to find this material in clean stones and inclusions are accepted by most collectors and dealers, but this gem almost eye clean (there is one very slight inclusion that I can see with the naked eye), which makes it that much more desirable. Do not miss out on this one. Retail price on this is $970.00.
