A lovely green diopside crystal from Tanzania! Diopside itself can come in various colors besides green, such as black, yellow and brown. It's green tone comes from an infusion of chromium. Raw gemstones such as these can command a decent price, while faceted stones can go upwards to $100 a carat.

Diopside derives its name from the Greek dis, "twice", and òpsè, "face" in reference to the two ways of orienting the vertical prism.

Diopside was discovered and first described about 1800, by Brazilian naturalist Jose Bonifacio de Andrada e Silva.

As a relatively soft stone with a Mohs hardness varying between 5.5-6.5 it can be somewhat easy to scratch, though it is possible to transform them into beautiful gemstones by a skilled lapidarist.

This stone comes in a perky box with a printed label.

~*~ Your purchase will arrive beautifully packaged, with a white sage leaf & surprise crystal! It has been smudged, sound cleared & tuned to the 963 hz solfeggio frequency. I anoint all stones in sacred oils, it will smell amazing. ~*~
