About Siberian Russian Chrome
Diopsid

|
|
Chrome diopside certainly won't win
any contests for the most beautiful name. To most people, it sounds
more like something which is more technical in terms rather than a
gemstone. But Chrome diopside has a beautiful rich green colour and
an amazingly low price considering its a pure rich green colour.
Chrome Diopside is a gem found in Siberia - and is commonly known as
the Russian Emerald. Other names for it include Russian Diopside,
Chromium Diopside, and trademarked names like Vertelite & Serbelite. Some
even call it Siberian Emerald (although the stone is not an emerald
or part of the beryl group). A very popular cut for chrome
diopside is oval, cushion, emerald cut (octagon), and rounds.
Though it is difficult to make beads out of rough of Chrome Diopside

Siberian Chrome Diopside Mineral Content &
Chemical composition
|
|
|
|
|
Chrome Diopside is of green
colour as it contains Chromium. Chromium
is the
Latin name for the element also denoted Cr on the periodic
table of elements -
element number 24. In French, the name is
Chrome. Many gem names are taken
from the French language -- but
you'll notice that the name Chrome Diopside is not
nearly as
beautiful as some other gem names -- however, once you see the
colour
you will not give much importance to the name any more but as
the green colour is
so fascinating.
Diopside is a monoclinic pyroxene mineral with composition MgCaSi2O6. It forms
complete solid solution series with hedenbergite (FeCaSi2O6) and augite, and
partial solid solutions with orthopyroxene and
pigeonite. It forms variably colored,
but typically dull green crystals in the monoclinic prismatic class. It has two distinct
prismatic cleavages at 87 and 93° typical of the pyroxene
series. It has a Mohs
hardness of six and a specific gravity of 3.25 to 3.55. It is transparent to translucent
with indices of refraction of no
=1.663 - 1.699, nβ=1.671 - 1.705 and nγ=1.693 -
1.728. The optic angle is 58° to
63°.Diopside is found in ultramafic (kimberlitic and
peridotite) igneous rocks, and
diopside-rich augite is common in mafic rocks, such
as olivine basalt and andesite. |
|
Diopside is also found in
a variety of metamorphic rocks, such as in contact
metamorphosed skarns developed from high silica
dolomites. It is an important mineral in the Earth's mantle
and is common in peridotite xenoliths erupted in
kimberlite and alkali basalt.At relatively high
temperatures, there is a miscibility gap between diopside
and pigeonite, and at lower temperatures, between diopside
and orthopyroxene.
The calcium/(calcium+magnesium+iron) ratio in diopside that
formed with one of these other two pyroxenes is
particularly sensitive to temperature above 900°C, and
compositions of diopside in peridotite xenoliths have
been important in reconstructions of temperatures in the
Earth's mantle. Gemstone quality diopside is found in
two forms: the black star diopside and the chrome diopside
(which includes chromium giving it a rich green colour).
At 5.5-6.5 on the Mohs scale, chrome diopside is relatively
soft to scratch. Mohs scale of hardness does not
measure tensile strength or resistance to fracture. It has 2
cleavage angles and is prismatic.The specific
gravity is 3.3-3.

since been considered a color of fertility, purity and perseverance.
And these qualities go hand in hand with the rich green of chrome
diopside that is found in Russia.

when it comes to vegetations. People say this is perhaps the a
compensation that this green stone is found there.

people are amazed to see the Jewellery produced with this rich green

as Chrome diopside jewellery that is matched
with gold and silver and is suitable for
every occasion.Gems with an
attractive pure green colour are generally rare and
pricy. Emerald is, of course, is the most valuable and
popular green gem. Tsavorite garnet and chrome tourmaline also have
a rich green colour but they are increasingly difficult to find and
have appreciated in value as a result.
Then, in 1988, rumours of a momentous new green
gem from Russia get introduced to the gem business. Dealers who saw
this material they first tried to sale this is in Europe. After the
initial difficulties a few reputable firms have established
themselves with the genuine stone manufacturing and we are proud to
be one of them and being able to produce jewellery out of this
beautiful green stone.

more attractive. This however differ from size to size.
Especially in the bigger sizes the green colour can get so much
darken that this may look somewhat black.

What does experts say about Chrome
Diopsid
|
|
 |
"Even today, fine emeralds are as as
scarce and costly, as they are beautiful. And, there also remains a
bit of chicanery in the emerald market with misgraded, treated and
lab-created gemstones offered to the consumer. If you are
considering the purchase of an emerald, you should also
consider the other green gemstones - chrome tourmaline, tsavorite
garnet and chrome diopside. They challenge more traditional emeralds
with exciting variations in colour, greater durability and
tantalizing optical properties... Chrome diopside exhibits a lush
green which calls to mind darkly shaded tropical rain forest."
Judith
Anderson GG,GGA (Emerald and the Great Pretenders/Internet)

"Chrome
diopside has a beautiful rich green color. It is the most
affordable gemstone with a pure rich green colour"( International
