Chrome Diopside
Chrome Diopside is sometimes called "Siberian Emerald" — a fitting name given its vivid forest-green color and striking resemblance to far more costly emeralds. The color comes from chromium, and it's 100% natural, never treated. What you see is what nature created.
This pyroxene mineral with chromium delivers gorgeous depth and clarity at a fraction of emerald's price. It was officially discovered in Siberia in the 1980s and quickly became a favorite for jewelry makers seeking rich, saturated green.
Chrome Diopside ranks 5.5 to 6 on the Mohs scale — softer than quartz or sapphire. Best for earrings, pendants, and necklaces. Avoid rings and bracelets where it might take impact. Handle gently and store separately.
You'll find Chrome Diopside here in natural, untreated strands. Browse our current selection below.
