diopside

renesim-diopsidedelsteinungeschliffen Uncut Diopside (1)

diopside

The gemstone from the mineral class of silicates

renesim-diopsidgeschliffen

overview

  • Naming : The name diopside comes from the Greek dis (double), opsis (sight) and idos (shape) and was developed by the French mineralogist Hauy in 1806. The name comes from the fact that its crystals often appear as twins, i.e. connected twice.
  • Mineral group: The diopside gemstone is a relatively common rock-forming mineral from the minor class of silicates.
  • Colour: Diopside is usually light green to dark green, which is due to the magnesium deposits. However, the gemstone also comes in white, grey, yellowish, brown, reddish brown, black, colourless and, more rarely, blue and violet.
  • Cut : To particularly emphasize its shine, the diopside is usually processed into a facet cut.

Quality factors

Color

Green diopside is the most common in nature, but it also comes in many other colors

purity

Russian diopsides are usually eye clean, meaning that inclusions cannot be seen with the naked eye.

carat

The value of a gemstone is determined by the following factors: color, clarity, carat and cut. Carat is a unit of measurement that corresponds to approximately 0.2 grams. It indicates the weight of a gemstone.

cut

A diopside gemstone is usually processed into a facet cut, as this particularly highlights its shine.

The Diopside and its Variations

Modifications or variations of diopside include baicalite, diallag, fassaite, jeffersonite and salite. Its streak color is white to grayish-white (also light lime green). Its Mohs hardness is between 5.5 and 6.5. Its luster is described as greasy, vitreous or matt, its transparency as transparent to translucent.

Special Diopsides

The most sought-after are the so-called green "cat's eyes", which contain small inclusions - probably of rutile - as well as the emerald green chrome diopside.

Special occasions

No special occasions were assigned to the diopside.
